Meet in Central Florence and Begin Your 4x4 Adventure

After a brief introduction, board your custom 4x4 vehicle and leave the bustling city behind for a day of serene exploration. As you venture into the scenic hills, your guide will share stories of Chianti’s rich history and the secrets of the Sangiovese grape—the heart and soul of Chianti wine. With just a few others in your group, the tour maintains an intimate feel, perfect for a deeper connection with the region.

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.

Surrounded by sun-soaked vineyards, this estate has been crafting Chianti wines for generations. Take a leisurely stroll through the vineyards before descending into an atmospheric wine cellar, where oak barrels and ancient bottles line the walls. Here, you’ll taste three of their exceptional wines, along with local olive oils, all accompanied by artisan cold cuts. Discover why Chianti wines, are celebrated for their bold flavors and versatility.

A Traditional Tuscan Lunch with Stunning Views

Next, we’ll head to a charming farmhouse restaurant for a classic Tuscan lunch, paired with—you guessed it—even more incredible local wines. Relish dishes made from fresh, local ingredients, served with spectacular views of the surrounding hills. Enjoy a taste of true Tuscan hospitality as you soak in the tranquil atmosphere, and raise a glass to this unforgettable experience.

Medieval Castles, Hilltop Villages, and an Award-Winning Winery

The adventure continues through Tuscany’s picturesque landscape, where you’ll pass by ancient castles and quaint villages that seem frozen in time. In the afternoon, arrive at a second winery, a family-run gem known for its innovative yet deeply traditional wines. Sample three more award-winning wines, perfectly paired with local cheeses and cold cuts, as you hear stories about the craftsmanship behind each bottle and what makes these wines internationally prized.

As the sun begins to set, we’ll make our way back to Florence, leaving you with a newfound appreciation for Tuscany’s timeless wine culture and the memories of a safari unlike any other. Salute to a day well spent!

We had the best time being driven around Tuscany. We loved the two wineries we visited - delicious wine, snacks and fun little tours. The picnic lunch was casual and tasty. We were with two other people and it was fun getting to know them. It was a little cramped in the back seat with 3 of us - so if you are a larger person you should ask about the type of vehicle and number of passengers. Our guide was an excellent driver and very friendly. It was a day we will always treasure.
