Detailed itinerary

Our expert driver will pick you up at your hotel or apartment for an extraordinary private wine tour. We will traverse one of the most beautiful "Tuscan Wine Roads" known as Via Chiantigiana, making stops among the vineyards to capture some picturesque photos. Continuing along the Chianti wine route, we will reach the first winery for an exceptional wine tasting experience.

The first stop on our journey will bring us to one of the most beautiful and quintessential local cellars, such as Guidi Cellar, "Rocca delle Macie," or "Poggio ai Laghi Winery" (one of these will be selected for our visit). These historic cellars are nestled in the heart of Chianti Classico, situated in the most rural part of Chianti. As we explore, there will be an insightful presentation on their distinctive characteristics, detailing the wine and oil production in Chianti.

Relax in the serene ambiance of this beautiful locale and indulge in a wine tasting featuring 6/7 of the finest Chianti wines, all while admiring the picturesque rolling hills that surround you.

After completing the first tasting, we will embark on a beautiful itinerary along the wine route to reach the second winery. This establishment also boasts a rich history, quality, and tradition. We will have the opportunity to sample another 6 glasses of Tuscan wines, including Chianti, Vernaccia (considered the finest Italian DOCG white wine), and various Super Tuscan varieties.

By the end of both tastings, you will undoubtedly be more knowledgeable and capable of recognizing all the finest wines of Chianti. Both visits will be complemented by technical explanations from the winemakers and include a tour of the cellars.

Stop at a second winery where you will taste: Chianti Classico DOCG, Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva, Supertuscan, and Vermentino, accompanied by a small aperitivo of cured meats and cheeses. The tasting will be led by an expert oenologist/sommelier.
