About this tour
Spend six hours exploring Chianti's vineyard landscape with a knowledgeable English-speaking driver who handles all navigation while you focus on the wines. This private tour connects two celebrated estates—Poggio Amorelli, where you'll taste multiple vintages alongside local lunch and olive oil, and Castello di Gabbiano, a medieval fortress with cellars carved into its foundations. Transport, water, and expert commentary are included; tastings and meals are paid separately at each winery.

What to expect
Your driver collects you from your hotel and heads into rolling Tuscan hills toward Chianti's core. The day splits between two distinct properties. At Poggio Amorelli, expect a guided cellar walk followed by a proper three-course meal paired with several wines from their range, plus tastings of their oil and vinegar production. Castello di Gabbiano offers a different atmosphere—a fortified medieval structure where expert staff guide you through underground cellars and discuss winemaking techniques. Between venues, your driver provides context on the landscape and region. Pace is leisurely; you're tasting, not rushing.
