Pisa and Chianti in One Day: Private Tour with Lunch and Wine Tasting

From the Leaning Tower to rolling Tuscan vineyards, all in a single unforgettable day.


This private Pisa and Chianti wine tour takes you from the iconic Piazza dei Miracoli to the heart of the Tuscan countryside, combining two of Tuscany's most celebrated destinations into one well-crafted full-day experience. You travel in comfort with a dedicated driver and vehicle, with no shared groups or fixed crowds to navigate. Every stop is designed to offer genuine access to the region's history, landscape, and culinary culture.

The morning begins in Pisa, where you will have free time to explore one of Italy's most recognizable UNESCO World Heritage Sites at your own pace. The afternoon shifts entirely to the Chianti countryside, where cypress-lined roads, sun-drenched vineyards, and medieval hilltop towns define the scenery.

A traditional three-course Tuscan lunch at a family-run estate forms the centerpiece of the afternoon, complete with guided tastings of regional wines, extra virgin olive oils, and balsamic vinegars. The day concludes with a visit to San Gimignano, a perfectly preserved medieval town known for its distinctive towers and panoramic views over the Sienese hills.

Tour Highlights

Visit the Leaning Tower, Cathedral, Baptistery, and Monumental Cemetery at Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Drive through the Chianti wine region along a scenic route lined with vineyards, cypress avenues, sunflowers, and medieval villages.

Enjoy a traditional three-course Tuscan lunch at a local estate with views of San Gimignano's towers on the horizon.

Take part in a guided tasting of five regional wines, including Chianti, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, and Super Tuscan varieties.

Visit the vineyard and cellar to learn firsthand about the production process behind some of Tuscany's most celebrated wines.

Explore San Gimignano, a UNESCO-listed medieval town famous for its intact towers, historic walls, and far-reaching countryside views.

Travel exclusively as a private group with door-to-door pickup and drop-off at your Florence accommodation.
