Florence Half Day Chianti Wine Tour with Tuscan Food Tastings
Description
Leave Florence behind and discover the essence of Tuscany on this half-day Chianti wine tour. Travel in comfort by luxury minivan as vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads unfold before you. Learn about Chianti’s history and traditions from your escort while enjoying the scenic drive. Visit a family-run boutique winery where cool cellars filled with oak barrels set the stage for your first tasting of Chianti wines, rich with notes of cherry, spice, and Tuscan sunshine. Continue to a medieval village, strolling cobblestone lanes and capturing postcard-perfect views of the rolling hills. At a second winery, savor Tuscan Tuscan Food Tastings prepared with seasonal ingredients: rustic bread with olive oil & cured meats, each dish paired with estate wines.

Amazing. Definitely worth it. Peter, the driver, was awesome.
Second winery was amazing. Jo and Elinoria were amazing. Your experience varied greatly by guide. Haidar was amazing. Peter was boring and didn't say much in the van either way whereas the rest of my family got tons of great info from the other driver who also played music and sang with the group on the way back.
What a fabulous experience from the tour guide to the wineries. Highly recommend when you are in Florence. Wineries and views were incredible. Just enough to give you a taste
Peter was incredible! This tour is worth every cent. The wineries were amazing.
Our guide Christina was simply amazing, so pleasant & knowledgable. The 2 wineries were so different and yet gave an overall authentic experience we were looking for. Our children age 20,19,18 all thoroughly enjoyed it too.
We had a wonderful time and Peter made it even more enjoyable! It was relaxed, and the wine was delicious and the views were beautiful and the olive oil oil and food was great!
Char was INCREDIBLE. She was organized, informative, kind, and overall made the experience fantastic.
We were in Italy for the first time, and since our schedule was packed, we couldn’t squeeze in a full-day wine tour. But guess what? We stumbled upon this tour that perfectly matched our time and interests! It was incredibly well-organized and run. Plus, starting at 5 p.m. when the sun sets was a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors in peak summer. We visited two family-owned wineries, they had so much character in how they look. and feel. We learned about olive oil production, which was really interesting. Our second stop featured a special appearance by the families’ zia (aunt), who shared her experiences, culture, and fun stories. Her storytelling was very engaging, we loved it. Special shoutout to Christina for touring us around on her "rest day" :P I would definitely recommend this tour if you have limited time but want to soak it all in!
We loved this trip, tasting beautiful food and incredible wines. Carlotta was a great tour guide with amazing knowledge and took the time to get to know us all on the trip ☺️ would definitely recommend this trip, was the highlight for us ☺️
Carlotta- you were so friendly and fun! We learned so much about wine making and enjoyed all the wine and food pairings! You are amazing. Thank you so much!!
