About this tour
Spend nine hours exploring Chianti Classico's finest estates in a private car with an English-speaking driver who knows the region intimately.

- Photograph famous Tuscan countryside at leisure

What to expect
Your driver picks you up from your Florence accommodation and heads into Chianti Classico wine country. You'll stop at established wineries where staff walk you through their cellars—seeing oak barrels, fermentation tanks, and storage. Tastings happen on-site, usually in tasting rooms or cellars themselves. Between estates, your driver handles navigation whilst you relax. The pace suits sightseeing and photography breaks. You'll encounter working vineyards, not theme parks. Bring an appetite: lunch isn't provided, so plan to eat at a local restaurant or arrange something beforehand.
Good to know
Alcohol isn't included—budget for wine purchases if interested. Lunch stops are your choice; the driver can recommend spots. The route covers roughly 50 kilometres, mostly on winding regional roads. Wear comfortable shoes for cellar walks, which can be cool and uneven underfoot.
