PRIVATE Full-Day Wine Experience in Chianti Classico.

About this tour

Spend eight or nine hours exploring Chianti Classico with your own driver and minivan, departing from Florence. You'll navigate through vineyard-dotted hills and stop at family-owned estates to taste Chianti and Super Tuscan wines, visit medieval villages like Greve or Panzano, and sample cured meats, cheeses and olive oil straight from producers. Your English-speaking driver knows the region well and can steer you towards hidden corners or let you call the shots entirely.

What to expect

Your driver collects you from your Florence hotel at your chosen time and heads south into Chianti's distinctive landscape. Expect narrow roads threading through olive groves and Sangiovese vineyards, with frequent stops at working estates where you'll taste directly with producers. Villages like Castellina feel genuinely lived-in rather than polished. Most groups spend two to three hours at one or two wineries, tasting four or five wines per stop. A farmhouse or winery lunch (€55–€65 per person) breaks the day midway; vegetarian and gluten-free options exist with 24 hours' notice. Your driver manages pacing and logistics, freeing you to focus on the wine.
