Tour Itinerary

1
Your tour begins at your Florence accommodation
Your tour begins with direct pickup at your Florence accommodation, where your private driver welcomes you aboard a climate-controlled vehicle. As you leave the urban streets behind, roll past silver olive groves and gentle vineyard slopes into the heart of rural Tuscany. -
2
Explore historic Castellina in Chianti
Next, stop in Castellina in Chianti, a fortified village with origins stretching back to Etruscan and Bronze Age settlements. Walk the ancient cobblestone streets, admire medieval architecture, and soak in sweeping vistas over the surrounding valleys where winemaking traditions have thrived for centuries. -
3
Taste oil and wine at an organic farmhouse
Then, arrive at an operating Chianti farmhouse to meet local producers and tour the property. Taste cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil alongside small-batch wines, gaining insight into biodynamic agriculture and the family passion behind every bottle produced on the estate. -
4
Indulge in an organic Tuscan lunch
Afterward, sit down for an authentic multi-course lunch adhering to Italian slow-food traditions. Savor dishes prepared from fresh, farm-grown ingredients, perfectly paired with regional vintages. Take your time enjoying every bite while surrounded by iconic Tuscan countryside views. -
5
Discover a tranquil medieval village
Next, visit a quiet village in the Chianti hills where time seems to have stood still for centuries. Enjoy free time to wander narrow stone alleyways, discover artisan shops, and capture photographs of romantic arches and stone towers untouched by modern development. -
6
Compare vintages at a second vineyard
Then, head to a second estate to experience a contrasting approach to winemaking. Guided by a wine expert, you will tour the production facilities, learn how terroir shapes Sangiovese grapes, and sample a distinct selection of estate vintages to compare flavors with your earlier tasting. -
7
Your tour ends with a return journey to Florence
Your tour finishes with smooth, door-to-door transportation back to your Florence accommodation. Sit back and unwind after a full day of countryside exploration, taking home fond memories and an enhanced appreciation for authentic Tuscan food and wine culture.

Customer Reviews
Booked this for my wife who loves the wine, we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Mike, our driver, was amazing. Our first stop seemed very special in today’s world. Loved our tour.
Great drive into Tuscany and fantastic lunch at the Casanova winery. Marlon our driver was top notch and very accommodating. The first stop for lunch was at the Casanova family farm and winery. Interesting to learn the process to make Balsamic vinegar. The winery also has great wine, truffles, honey, lavender all from the farm. Hospitality at the farm is more than you can wish for. Highly recommend this tour.
Tried more wines than I expected! From red to white, each one had its own story. Left with a new favorite variety.
This tour had no rush at all. Just easy travel, beautiful scenery, and great company. Felt like a full day of peace.
