Tuscany Day Trip from Florence

Discover Tuscany: Siena, Chianti & Brunello Tasting in Montalcino

A full-day journey through medieval Siena, rolling Chianti hills, and the legendary vineyards of Montalcino.


This Tuscany day trip from Florence combines the art of living well with centuries of winemaking tradition, taking you from a UNESCO-listed medieval city to one of Italy's most storied wine estates in a single, unhurried day.

The route winds through some of the most recognizable landscapes in Italy: terraced vineyards, silver-green olive groves, and the signature rows of cypress trees that line the ridgelines of the Sienese countryside. Each stretch of road offers a new composition of the Tuscan hills before you even step out of the vehicle.

At midday, a farmhouse lunch brings the region's flavors together in one sitting, with a carefully selected flight of Chianti wines accompanying a traditional meal. The afternoon then shifts to Montalcino, where a multi-generational family estate opens its cellar for a guided tasting of five wines, including two expressions of Brunello DOCG.

Tour Highlights

Walk the medieval streets of Siena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visit the iconic Piazza del Campo.

Enjoy a traditional Tuscan farmhouse lunch paired with five selected Chianti wines.

Visit a prestigious multi-generational Brunello estate in Montalcino and tour its historic cellar.

Taste five wines at the Montalcino estate, including Rosso di Montalcino, two Brunello DOCG, a Super Tuscan, and a Rosé.

Travel one of Tuscany's most scenic wine roads through the postcard-perfect Chianti and Val d'Orcia landscapes.

Discover the history of Siena's Duomo, Baptistery, and the atmospheric lanes of Via di Città.
