In your driver's capable hands, your vehicle lets you get off the road and into the farmland, giving you a more intimate experience of Tuscany.
Chianti Farmhouse and Cellar Tour
Between Florence and Siena, you'll find one of the world's most important wine regions. Surrounded by the versatile Sangiovese grape, the Chianti region has been producing incredible red wines for centuries. As you ride past countless vineyards, a traditional farmhouse appears in the distance.
After you park, you can stroll through the vineyards that surround the property before exploring its underground cellar full of historic wines aging to perfection. The expert winemakers at the vineyard will explain the wine-making process up close.
Picnic in the Hills with Antipasti and Wine
During your exploration of the countryside, you'll come across a beautiful grove overlooking the lush farmland. Here your guide will lay out a wonderful spread of antipasti (Italian starters) and local Chianti wines. Sit back as you take in the Tuscan sun and breeze for a picturesque picnic in the country.
Classic 3-Course Tuscan Lunch
You'll continue into the heart of Tuscany's glorious landscape before stopping for a delicious local lunch. Served over three courses, this lunch showcases some of the traditional recipes and incredible fresh ingredients that Tuscany is famous for. And there will be wine, of course! Salute!
Medieval Castles and Hilltop Villages
After lunch, continue the journey through Tuscany, passing by villages and seeing local life unfold before your eyes. This afternoon you'll also visit a magnificent castle and abbey that dates back to the 13th century, and your guide will describe stories of the monks and lords that influenced the area's history.
As your Tuscan adventure draws to a close, you'll be driven back to central Florence in time to enjoy your evening in the city.

If you are visiting Tuscany, this is the way to do it! It was just me my husband and our two friends, with our driver guide who was the coolest guy. We felt like we were in Australia or something hopping into the jeep. We felt like adventurous VIPs all day, so awesome!

Can I bring my child and why is it full price?
You can and they will be provided with soft drinks instead of wine. Since this trip includes transportation, all passengers on the tour must be seated for safety and legal reasons. That means a young child takes up the same space as a youth or adult. For peace of mind, we can bring a car seat for children who need one, so please let us know in the comment box on the order confirmation page.
Is this tour private?
If your group size is 6, then yes! Otherwise you may have some fellow wine-loving travelers to join you. If you're looking for a fully private tour, check out our Private Wine day in the Chianti Hills.
What if I'm vegetarian, vegan, or have special dietary requirements?
Please contact us after booking to let us know your requirements. We’ll work with our partners to accommodate your needs.
