Wine Tour of two Chianti wine estates on the hills of Florence

About this tour

This five-hour private tour takes you into the Chianti hills south of Florence to explore two distinguished wineries representing different subzones. You'll walk through cellars with agronomist guides, taste around ten wines—pure Sangiovese and local blends, plus rosé and whites—and develop a genuine understanding of what separates quality producers from tourist traps. A Tuscan lunch and olive oil tastings anchor the experience.

Highlights

• Access two historic Chianti estates in working vineyard country
• Taste ~10 wines guided by knowledgeable agronomists, not marketing staff
• Learn hand-harvest to bottling craft from the people who do it
• Sample premium Tuscan olive oil alongside the wines
• Tuscan lunch included in rolling hills setting
• Private car with driver, air-conditioned throughout

What to expect

You'll be collected from your Florence meeting point and driven into genuine wine country—not a tourist village. At each estate, an agronomist or curator walks you through the cellar, explaining vineyard decisions and winemaking philosophy while you taste methodically. You'll encounter Sangiovese in various styles and discover how local grapes like Canaiolo or Colorino shift the flavour profile. Between tastings, you'll try premium extra-virgin olive oils. Lunch happens at one of the estates: proper Tuscan fare, no shortcuts. By day's end you'll understand the difference between a consciously made wine and a mass-produced one.
