PRIVATE Half-Day Tour: Chianti Classico Wine Experience.

About this tour

Spend five hours driving through Chianti's vine-covered slopes and stone villages in your own minivan with a private driver. You'll visit small family-run wineries still using traditional methods, taste Chianti Classico and local olive oil, and wander medieval hamlets like Greve and Montefioralle. The route adapts to what you want to see, whether that's a quick tasting or a long lunch at a working estate. Departs Florence mornings at 9:30 or 11:00.

What to expect

Your driver collects you from your Florence hotel at your chosen time and guides the minivan through undulating countryside dotted with cypress and oak. You'll pull up to two or three small wineries where owners or staff walk you through how grapes become wine, then pour tastes of their current releases. Stops in village piazzas give you time to browse local shops or grab coffee. If you've booked lunch, you'll eat at a winery or farm kitchen—expect simple, seasonal fare with matching wines. The whole day has a leisurely pace; there's no rushing between numbered stops.
