Itinerary

Immerge in the Tuscan countryside with a half day tour of Chianti

The narrow streets of Florence convert into rolling hills lined with cypress trees, olive groves and vineyards. An authentic tour of Chianti to explore the picturesque Tuscan wine region!

Greve in Chianti

Stop at Greve in Chianti, one of the most typical villages of Chianti. Birthplace of the Tuscan explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, the first European to reach the New York Harbor. Wonder the small village with ancient porticoes and unforgettable views over the countryside.

Taste the essence of the Tuscan lifestyle (if option selected)

Drive through amazing Tuscan wine roads surrounded by gentle slopes with vines and olive trees. Reach a Tuscan winery, learn more about the winemaking process and the local wine culture.

See the cellar, touch old barrels and discover the secrets behind excellence of the world-known Chianti region. Then relax and enjoy a wine tasting and extra virgin olive oil. Learn how to appreciate the high quality of these products. (For those not interested in wine the visit of the winery can be replaced with a stop to another village of the Tuscan countryside like Castellina in Chianti or Panzano in Chianti, etc.).

 

At the end of your half day tour of Chianti, relax during your ride back to your accommodation in Florence.

Is a wine tour/tasting included in this half-day tour to Chianti?
It is not included because we also have clients interested in the world famous Tuscan countryside but don’t drink wine or parties/families with kids where not all the people want/can taste wine. Obviously if you like to visit a Tuscan winery, taste wine, olive oil etc. simply select the number of people in your party that are interested in, (during the booking in the add-on section) and we will arrange it for you.

 

 

May I choose the winery to include in the tour?
If you’d like to visit a specific winery, let us know in advance so we can check if feasible in terms of logistic, their availability etc.

 

 

May I visit more than one winery?
The half-day Chianti tour lasts approx. 4 hours, so usually it is not possible to fit more than one winery.
If you want to visit more wineries, you need to add extra hours or book our full-day Chianti tour. Contact us and we will give you all the options based on your needs.

 

 

If we book the wine tour/tasting, do we taste white wines?
You will visit the Chianti wine country, a famous area for red wines primarily made with Sangiovese grapes. As a plus, depending on the time of the year and production you may have the chance to also taste some rosé or white wine. If your main interest is in white wine, let us know so we can arrange an itinerary in a different area.

 

 

What is the drinking age in Italy?
The legal drinking age in Italy is 16 years old. However, the law is rarely enforced and it’s socially acceptable to taste wine as long as you are with your parents or in a party with older people.

 

 

Are meals included?
Meals are not included on this tour.

 

 

Can I buy/ship wine/olive oil?
Yes. You can buy a few bottles or a larger quantity to ship home. Make sure you know your country’s rules of taking wine back home – every country has different rules.
