About this experience
Leave Florence behind and discover the essence of Tuscany on this half-day Chianti wine tour. Travel in comfort by luxury minivan as vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads unfold before you. Learn about Chianti’s history and traditions from your escort while enjoying the scenic drive. Visit a family-run boutique winery where cool cellars filled with oak barrels set the stage for your first tasting of Chianti wines, rich with notes of cherry, spice, and Tuscan sunshine. Continue to a medieval village, strolling cobblestone lanes and capturing postcard-perfect views of the rolling hills. At a second winery, savor Tuscan Tuscan Food Tastings prepared with seasonal ingredients: rustic bread with olive oil & cured meats, each dish paired with estate wines. End your afternoon at Piazzale Michelangelo, where Florence greets you with sweeping views glowing in golden or evening light—the perfect ending to your Tuscan escape.
