Begin Your Tuscan Adventure

The station is easily accessible with a 20-minute tram ride from Florence’s main train station or a quick taxi ride! From there, travel in comfort aboard an air-conditioned minivan, ensuring a stress-free and personal experience as you leave the city behind.
Scenic Drive Through Chianti’s Rolling Hills
As Florence fades into the distance, marvel at the picturesque Tuscan landscape. Rolling vineyards, olive groves, and quaint medieval villages unfold before your eyes during this 45-minutes trip. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories and insights about the history, culture, and beauty of Chianti, setting the stage for your evening ahead.
Discover a Traditional Chianti Vineyard
Step into the heart of one of the world’s most iconic wine regions. The Chianti area, nestled between Florence and Siena, is famed not only for its picturesque rolling hills and medieval villages but also for producing some of Italy’s most celebrated wines. Towns like Greve, Radda, and Castellina serve as charming gateways to this wine-lover’s paradise, each steeped in history and tradition.
Upon arrival at a family-run vineyard, immerse yourself in Tuscany’s rich winemaking heritage. Learn about Chianti wines, crafted primarily from Sangiovese grapes, celebrated for their vibrant acidity, floral aromas, and bold tannins. Your guide will take you behind the scenes, revealing the meticulous process of transforming these grapes into the renowned wines of Chianti. From the region’s diverse terroir to the stories of generations of winemakers, every detail brings the magic of Tuscany to life.
Indulge in a Tuscan Feast
As the sun dips below the hills, find your seat in the vineyard itself for a dinner to remember. Candlelight, fairy lights, and soft music set the mood for this enchanting multi-course meal, made with fresh, local ingredients. Begin your dining experience with a taste of pappa al pomodoro or ribollita—two beloved dishes born from the region’s folklore, made with simple yet flavorful ingredients like bread, tomatoes, and seasonal vegetables.
The meal continues with a mouthwatering barbecue featuring a selection of tender meats, grilled to perfection, accompanied by fresh, seasonal vegetables harvested directly from the farm. Each bite reflects the essence of the Tuscan countryside, making this an authentic and memorable culinary journey. Enjoy the perfect pairing of traditional Tuscan flavors and Chianti wines while surrounded by the vineyard’s serene beauty. Share stories and laughter with your small group, making connections as rich as the meal itself. It’s not just dinner—it’s a moment to savor Tuscany’s soul in every bite and sip.
Relax on Your Journey Back to Florence
As the evening concludes, enjoy a tranquil ride back to Florence. Reflect on the unforgettable experiences of the night, from the scenic drive to the magical dinner. As you return to Villa Costanza, your original meeting point, you’ll carry with you the essence of Tuscany—its flavors, its landscapes, and the warmth of its people.
