Small Group Tuscany Wine Tour: 2 Wineries, 2 Wine Tastings & Chianti Views

Taste the soul of Tuscany across rolling Chianti hills, storied cellars, and the medieval skyline of San Gimignano.


This Tuscany wine tour takes small groups through two distinct wineries in the Chianti region, offering guided tastings, cellar visits, and sweeping countryside views — all without the concern of driving on unfamiliar roads.

Guests move from a hillside estate producing Chianti Classico and Super Tuscan wines to a family winery celebrated for its D.O.C.G. Vernaccia white wine, framed by the iconic towers of San Gimignano. Along the way, a passionate wine producer shares the craft behind each bottle, from vine to glass.

The day concludes with a leisurely walk through San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage town whose fourteen medieval towers have defined the Sienese skyline for centuries. The tour suits travellers who want genuine wine education paired with authentic Tuscan scenery, not a hurried checklist experience.

Tour Highlights

Taste five wines at the first winery, including Chianti Classico, Vernaccia, and Super Tuscan varieties selected by the producer.

Sample a 30-year-old balsamic vinegar and truffle extra virgin olive oil alongside your wine flight.

Walk through working vineyards and historic cellars with winemakers who explain both wine and olive oil production.

Explore San Gimignano and its fourteen medieval towers, including the option to climb for panoramic countryside views.

Purchase local wines and artisan products directly from the winery at producer prices to take home or ship abroad.

Enjoy unobstructed views over the Chianti hills and the silhouette of San Gimignano's towers from the second winery.
