Detailed itinerary

Meet your friendly tour leader and fellow travelers and hop aboard your comfortable minivan and get ready for a scenic drive through the rolling Tuscan hills. Expect cypress-lined roads, medieval villages, and postcard-perfect vineyards along the way.

Our first stop takes us to a traditional family-run winery in Chianti Classico area. Step inside the cellar, breathe in the comforting aroma of oak barrels, and learn how local winemakers turn grapes into the region’s most beloved reds. After the cellar visit, you’ll taste a selection of their finest wines paired with freshly baked bread and extra virgin olive oil – the perfect start to your Tuscan wine journey.

From here, we continue deeper into Chianti to a renowned estate, known for its Chianti and Super Tuscan blends. Wander through the vineyards, enjoy the sweeping countryside views, and discover how centuries-old traditions blend seamlessly with modern winemaking techniques. A proper Tuscan lunch awaits, featuring homemade pasta, cured meats, cheeses, and seasonal dishes served with, you guessed it, plenty of wine. This is the kind of meal that gives you real nonna vibes.

In the afternoon, we make our final stop at a small boutique winery, where passion is poured into every glass. This visit is all about soaking in the relaxed atmosphere, chatting with your new travel companions, and savoring one last round of wines while surrounded by breathtaking Tuscan scenery.

As the day winds down, sit back and relax on the drive back to Florence, with your heart a little fuller and your appreciation for Chianti a little deeper. Be warned, supermarket wine may never taste the same again.

Side effects may include falling in love with Tuscany, making lifelong friends, and posting far too many vineyard selfies.
