Good Morning Chianti Classico: Tour in 2 Wineries with Lunch
A half-day journey through cypress-lined hills, medieval villages, and celebrated Tuscan wines
This private Chianti Classico wine tour takes you deep into the iconic rolling landscape south of Florence, where centuries-old winemaking traditions meet some of Italy's most celebrated vineyards and flavors.
The tour follows the legendary Via Chiantigiana, a winding scenic road connecting rolling hills, golden sunflower fields, and stone-walled estates. Along the route, panoramic stops provide views that have defined Tuscany's visual identity for generations.
Two carefully selected wineries anchor the experience: one offering guided tastings of flagship Chianti Classico and Vernaccia wines, the other hosting a full three-course Tuscan lunch paired with the estate's own production. Both visits are structured to give genuine insight into regional winemaking rather than a superficial overview.
The pace is relaxed and the group is private, allowing for an unhurried morning that combines cultural discovery with authentic culinary pleasure in one of Italy's most storied wine regions.
