About this tour
Spend five hours in the Chianti Classico hills visiting two family-owned wineries where the producers themselves greet you. Your local guide drives you through the region's rolling vineyards, sharing stories of winemaking traditions and village life. Taste Chianti Classico alongside cured meats, cheese and olive oil in intimate, unhurried settings designed to feel like a friend's invitation rather than a commercial operation.

What to expect
Your guide collects you and drives through Chianti's landscape, pointing out vineyard microclimates and historical landmarks as you go. At each winery, you'll sit down with the owners or winemakers who explain their approach—whether they've farmed organically for decades or recently switched methods. Tastings happen at a conversational pace, with food that's been made locally for generations. The village detour isn't a photo stop; it's a chance to see where people actually live and shop. Expect dirt roads, stone buildings and the kind of quiet that makes you listen.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes suitable for uneven ground. The car is air-conditioned for warm days. Children and infants are welcome; bring a pram if needed. Public transport exists nearby if you prefer not to drive. Allow time to linger—these aren't rushed tastings.
