About this experience

Drive through the breathtaking Tuscan countryside along the ancient Cassia Vetus, an old Roman road lined with rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves. Your journey begins in Florence, where your English-speaking driver will take you straight into the heart of Chianti.

Stop in the charming medieval village of Greve, birthplace of explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, and wander through its picturesque streets. Then, visit the stunning hilltop hamlet of Montefioralle, a perfectly preserved 12th-century stone village, where you’ll uncover fascinating stories, admire sweeping panoramas, and learn the legend of the Black Rooster, symbol of Chianti Classico.

Your experience culminates with an authentic Tuscan meal at a private estate, made from organic ingredients grown on the property. Savor three top Chianti Classico wines paired with a tasting of exquisite extra-virgin olive oil—the perfect ending to your unforgettable Tuscan adventure.
