About this tour
A curated eight-hour drive through Tuscany's rolling hills, departing Florence with a private English-speaking driver. Visit the Florence American Cemetery, then venture into Chianti wine country via Greve, where you'll stop at a family-run winery for tastings and lunch (at your own cost). The afternoon is yours to choose: explore a second vineyard or wander the hilltop village of Castellina in Chianti. Ideal for those wanting to see working vineyards without the tourist crowds.
Highlights
- Florence American Cemetery, a solemn hilltop memorial
- Greve in Chianti's arcaded piazza and local food shops
- Tuscan countryside rolling past your window all day
- Lunch paired with wine at an independent winery
- Optional second tasting or village exploration afternoon
- Private vehicle and driver—no group schedules
What to expect
Your driver collects you in the morning and heads south from Florence towards the Arno Valley. You'll first pay respects at the cemetery, set among cypress groves. Then it's into Chianti proper: narrow lanes, stone villages, and vineyards on every slope. Mid-morning you'll arrive at your chosen winery, where the cellar door staff will walk you through their range before settling in for lunch. Afterwards, you decide the day's rhythm—either taste wines at another producer or stroll Castellina's narrow streets and sample local produce. Your driver remains on call throughout.
Good to know
All food and wine tastings are at your expense and must be settled directly at each venue. The vehicle is air-conditioned and suitable for children; infant car seats available on request. Wear comfortable shoes if exploring villages. Some winery roads are unpaved but passable.
