What to expect
Your sommelier meets you at your accommodation and drives you into rolling vineyards south of Florence. At each winery—small, family-operated estates—you'll walk through active cellars where wines age in oak or concrete, and hear how vintage variation shapes flavour. Between visits, you'll taste side by side: younger Chianti alongside reserve bottlings, learning what makes each distinct. At lunch, a Tuscan kitchen serves courses built around local produce and cured meats; your guide explains why a lighter wine suits one plate and a fuller-bodied pour another. You'll also sample oils and discover how harvest timing changes their character. Expect to taste upwards of 6–8 different wines over the day.
