About this tour
Spend seven hours in the heart of Chianti Classico with a qualified sommelier who'll walk you through the region's winemaking tradition. You'll visit working vineyards, taste their wines directly, and eat lunch amongst the rolling Tuscan hills. This isn't a bus-load affair—small groups mean real conversation with winemakers and time to ask actual questions about what you're drinking.

What to expect
You'll be picked up and driven through vineyard-covered valleys to small-to-medium producers where you'll see cellars, barrel rooms, and the vines themselves. Each stop includes a tasting led by the sommelier, who'll explain what's in your glass without pretension. Lunch arrives mid-tour at a winery or nearby trattoria, usually featuring Tuscan staples and whatever wines the estate wants to show you. Expect to walk a little but nothing strenuous. The pace is relaxed—this is about talking to people and understanding their work, not rushing through a checklist.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes with grip for vineyard paths. Bring sunscreen and a hat; summer heat is real. The sommelier sets the tone—if they're good, you'll learn far more than you expected. Spit buckets are there if you want to pace yourself across multiple tastings.
