Enjoy a comfortable journey through Tuscany’s enchanting hills and picturesque vineyards, before arriving at your first magnificent destination.
Visit a Family Run Wine Estate
Before long, it’s time to begin tasting your way through the Chianti wine region! Your first stop is an endearing, family-run estate. The family who runs the estate believe that making wonderful wine is an art, and they’re ready to show you their exact process.
Stroll through their charming vineyards where the family produces their wine, idyllically placed on the hills above Greve in Chianti. Afterwards, explore their cellars as you learn all about the wine making and aging process.
Wine and Produce Tasting
Now that you’ve learned the secrets to how the family’s decadent wine is made, it’s time to try some for yourself! From the stunning terrace of the estate, indulge in 3-4 different wines. Your tasting will also be paired with delicious Tuscan delicacies, including cheese, salami, and locally produced Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Before leaving, you’ll have the option to purchase bottles or have them shipped directly to your home. Talk about an amazing souvenir!
Wander Through Lush Vineyards
Next, follow your friendly escort back on to the bus to continue tasting your way through the Chianti region. Admire the breathtaking cypress trees and olive groves as you make your way to the next magnificent winery.
Once you arrive at the second stop, stroll through the verdant vineyards of this estate while snapping plenty of amazing photos! Here, you’ll also have the opportunity to visit their wine cellar and aging room, while learning more about the wine making process.
Your Second Wine Tasting
Make your way to the tasting room, where you’ll be treated to a second wine tasting of 3-4 incredible wines. There will be a sommelier present, who is a true Chianti expert, so feel free to ask any more questions you may have!
Along with free time to relax in this stunning setting, you will once again have the option to purchase bottles or have them sent to your home.
Afterwards, it’s time to head back to Florence, in Piazzale Montelungo, where it all started. Be sure to grab a window seat so you can take in the scenic landscape one more time!

Overall Pretty Enjoyable
Andrew Conway
There was a lot of confusion before the tour began as they had oversold one tour and our bus was full. They ended up having to reassign us to another tour leaving at the same time. And they didn't provide a lot of instruction at check-in as to when/where to meet the bus and the man who checked us in was actually pretty rude when we tried to ask honest and fair questions. The first vineyard we visited was incredible. The presentation was thorough and entertaining and the wine and snacks were delicious! The second vineyard was notably not of the same caliber and value. They rushed through the presentation and didn't provide a lot of information. But the first vineyard made the whole tour worth it. We just wish the second vineyard was of the same level of experience. The drive was comfortable and BEAUTIFUL and a great way to explore Chianti!
