About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring the Chianti Classico region with Emanuele, a certified sommelier who doubles as your driver and local guide. You'll visit intimate family-run wineries, sample estate wines alongside regional delicacies, and break for lunch at a tucked-away trattoria away from tour-coach crowds. The route takes in rolling Tuscan countryside and delivers views that justify the journey alone.
Highlights
- Small-scale wineries with direct access to winemakers
- Sommelier-led tastings explaining Chianti production methods
- Lunch at a quiet countryside restaurant
- Tuscan charcuterie and cheese alongside wines
- Countryside vistas across vineyards and olive groves
- Air-conditioned transport throughout the day
What to expect
Emanuele will collect you and spend the morning navigating backroads to two or three carefully selected estates. At each stop, expect hands-on tastings where he contextualises what's in your glass—soil composition, vintage variation, food pairing logic. You'll taste perhaps five to seven wines across the day. Lunch arrives mid-afternoon at a family-run spot serving local cured meats, cheeses, and pasta made to traditional recipes. The pace is relaxed; there's time to chat and absorb rather than rush between stops. Afternoons wind down with a final tasting or a drive through the landscape before your return.
Good to know
Minimum age 18 to participate in tastings. Wear comfortable shoes for winery visits. The vehicle is climate-controlled, and public transport links exist nearby if needed. Gratuities aren't included—tip at your discretion.
