About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring lesser-known corners of Tuscany with a knowledgeable local guide. You'll drive the scenic Chiantigiana road, stopping at two family-owned wineries for tastings and a farm-to-table lunch paired with local wines and olive oil. This tour skips the crowded hotspots in favour of authentic hilltop villages and small-batch producers, giving you a genuine sense of how the region actually works beyond the tourist trail.

What to expect
Your guide will collect you mid-morning and drive you through rolling vineyard landscapes to the first winery, where you'll explore the cellars and sit down to a substantial lunch featuring regional dishes matched with the estate's wines and olive oil—expect this to take roughly two hours. The afternoon involves a second winery visit that's more established but still relatively quiet, with further tastings. Throughout, your guide provides context about Tuscan production, local history, and the communities you're passing through. The pace is relaxed; this is about savouring rather than rushing.
