What to expect
Your driver collects you from your Florence accommodation and heads south into the Chianti region. The morning involves driving to the first estate, where you'll taste wines and regional products at your own pace (paid separately). Between wineries, the driver navigates back roads offering views of vineyards and cypress-lined valleys, pausing when landscape or light warrants a photograph. Each subsequent winery follows a similar rhythm—sampling, learning, moving on. You'll encounter working cellars, barrel rooms and tasting rooms. The driver shares stories about winemaking methods and local producers. By late afternoon, you return to Florence.
Good to know
Winery fees are paid on-site, not included in the tour price. Lunch isn't provided; plan to eat at a winery or nearby restaurant. Wear comfortable shoes for vineyard walking. Bring sunscreen and a hat. All fitness levels cope fine—minimal walking required beyond the wineries themselves.
