Chianti Wine Country, Tuscany
Small-Group Winery Tour with Tasting and Dinner in Chianti
A journey through rolling vineyards, medieval villages, and an unforgettable dinner among the vines
This Chianti winery tour from Florence takes you deep into Tuscany's most celebrated wine region, where family-owned estates, ancient cellars, and seasonal cuisine come together for a genuinely memorable experience.
The drive from Florence into the Chianti countryside sets the tone immediately. Terraced vineyards, hilltop villages, and centuries-old farmhouses roll past the window as your guide prepares you for what lies ahead.
Two distinct winery visits anchor the itinerary. At the first estate, you tour the cellars and learn the full arc of Chianti wine production from vine to bottle. At the second, a candlelit dinner awaits among the vines as the Tuscan sky shifts from gold to deep orange.
A stop in the medieval village of Greve in Chianti adds a cultural dimension, giving you time to stroll cobblestone lanes and browse artisan workshops before the evening experience begins.
