Chianti is one of the world’s most famous wines

Discover the beautiful landscape that has been producing wine for centuries

From Florence, you will travel with your guide in a minivan to the Chianti wine region. You will discover the picturesque Tuscan countryside, visit ancient churches and small typical Tuscan villages. You will then visit a charming winery, where you can take part in a tour of the wine cellars to learn more about the different stages of wine production. Of course, there is also a tasting of the wines produced there. After a short stop at the fortress of Monteriggioni, you will visit a second winery where you can taste olive oil and wine.

What is included

The Chianti tour from Florence will allow you to explore the authenticity of the flavours of the Tuscan countryside and discover natural winemaking, to grasp the taste that a good glass of wine can convey.

Our local guides will be able to lead you on a path in which history, art and peasant culture know how to merge to best evoke the roots that have animated this land for millennia. Enjoying the view of the vineyards is just one of the ways to get to know this area.

Tuscany is the home of fine oils: a blend of ancient olive varieties, the extra virgin olive oil from the Chianti area comes from the skilful combination of over 120 native qualities of olive trees. From a difficult land, peasant art has been able to draw from the finest oil fruit that knows how to transmit olfactory sensations and an incomparable taste. Touch to understand, savour to discover. This is the impulse that animates the precious moments of the Chianti tour.

Visit the cellars of two of the most renowned wineries, taste the top products of local farms with snacks, and be overwhelmed by the unique atmosphere that this corner of Tuscany offers. You will be visiting a winery that not only offer a tasting that even true connoisseurs will enjoy with great pleasure, but you will also get to enjoy the wonderful surrounding landscape, immersed in an enchanting and welcoming atmosphere. There is time to end the day with a walk to the Castellina in Chianti to breathe the air of the village and explore its typical shops.
