About this tour
Explore Chianti's rolling hills in a classic Fiat 500, the car that defined Italian character. This five-hour private tour winds through medieval hamlets and introduces you to local winemakers, food artisans, and craftspeople on narrow country roads where the tiny Fiat thrives. The day culminates at a multigenerational organic vineyard where you'll tour the cellars, taste their Chianti Classico, and eat a proper Tuscan lunch prepared by the family that's farmed the land for centuries.

What to expect
You'll drive a right-hand-drive Fiat 500 alongside your guide through Chianti's backroads, calling at small villages and stopping at producers' premises—a winery, a food maker, perhaps a craftsperson. The road surface varies; some stretches wind through vineyards, others pass through tight village centres. Mid-tour, you arrive at the family farm where the owners greet you, walk you through their cellars, pour their own wines, and lay out a traditional lunch in their home or courtyard. Plan for standing time during the cellar visit and a leisurely two-hour meal.
Good to know
You must be comfortable driving a manual-transmission vehicle—the Fiat is stick-shift only. Wear comfortable shoes for uneven village streets and cellar floors. Bring a camera; photo stops are built in. Infant seats and prams are available. The tour runs rain or shine.
