Chianti Wine Tour from Florence
Chianti Delights: A Tale Of Two Wineries With A Vineyard Dinner
An afternoon journey through rolling hills, local estates, and the true flavors of Tuscany
This Chianti wine tour from Florence invites travelers to slow down and experience the Tuscan countryside the way it was meant to be discovered — at a relaxed pace, with a glass of local wine in hand and a sunset backdrop that belongs on a postcard.
Departing in the early afternoon, this tour suits those who prefer a leisurely start to their day. A comfortable, fully equipped GT coach carries guests from Florence into the heart of Chianti, guided throughout by an expert multilingual escort who brings the region's landscape and traditions to life.
Two carefully selected wineries form the backbone of the experience. The first introduces guests to the winemaking process and offers a tasting of regional wines paired with extra virgin olive oil. The second raises the stakes with a full traditional Tuscan dinner served outdoors among the vines as the evening light fades.
This is a sensory tour as much as a scenic one. The aromas of the countryside, the texture of aged wine, and the warmth of a family-style dinner table combine into something that lingers well beyond the drive back to Florence.
Tour Highlights
Comfortable GT coach transport from Florence with a multilingual expert escort for the full duration.
A scenic drive through the iconic Chianti countryside, past vineyards, olive groves, and hilltop villages.
Guided visit to a local winery to understand the winemaking process from vine to bottle.
Wine and extra virgin olive oil tasting at the first estate, featuring excellent Tuscan varieties.
A traditional Tuscan dinner at a charming wine estate, paired with wines selected personally by the winemaker.
Unforgettable sunset views over the vineyards of Chianti during the outdoor evening dinner.
An easy-difficulty experience designed for all travelers, with no early starts and a pace that invites genuine discovery.
