What to expect
Your minivan collects you from Florence and winds through the Chianti landscape to your first stop—a historic castle where you'll descend into cool cellars lined with oak barrels. Taste several wines whilst learning how this estate produces them. At the second winery, a smaller family operation, you'll experience a more intimate setting and sample their signature oils alongside additional wines. Throughout, your guide offers context about regional winemaking methods and Tuscan culture. Snacks bridge each tasting; bring an appetite for conversation as much as wine.
