Detailed itinerary

Our driver will pick you up at your location (hotel, B&B or private apartment) and take you on a journey through the rolling hills of Tuscany.
We will travel along one of the most beautiful wine roads in Tuscany called "Via Chiantigiana" among olive groves, cypress trees and vineyards up to the village of Castellina in Chianti.

Castellina is one of the most authentic hilltop villages in the Chianti Classico region. Located along the Chiantigiana wine road, it offers breathtaking views of symmetrical vineyards and lush woodlands, with its landscape dotted by charming stone houses and historic wine estates. Castellina’s name reflects its medieval role as a Florentine outpost and, in the late 13th century, it became the first site of the Chianti League, a coalition of three Florentine castles overseeing the region. Tucked within its fortifications, Castellina preserves much of its 15th-century character.

After exploring this historic village, we’ll head to a traditional winery. Following a brief introduction to winemaking techniques, you’ll taste a selection of fine Tuscan wines, including Chianti Classico, Super Tuscan, Vermentino, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, and others.

After visiting Castellina, head to Nardi Viticoltori, a charming organic farm run by a local Tuscan family. Experience authentic Tuscany where real wine is made and animals like Chianina cows, pigs, and roosters roam the farm.

Enjoy a unique, exclusive lunch prepared by the family’s mother, featuring homemade pasta, bruschetta, aged pecorino, local cold cuts, extra virgin olive oil, and rich balsamic vinegar. Each bite celebrates the simplicity and quality of Tuscan cuisine.

Savor a selection of the farm’s organic wines, including Chianti Gallo Nero and Super Tuscan, while taking in the stunning hillside views.

This tour is perfect for those wanting an immersive taste of Tuscany, combining exceptional food, iconic wines, and the authentic charm of a working farm.
