Private Grape stomping in Chianti from Florence
Description
Harvest has always been a time of celebration in the countryside: after months of hard work, the ripening of the grapes marks the beginning of the winemaking season. Before mechanization, whole families gathered to crush the grapes with their bare feet inside large wooden vats, turning harvest into a shared ritual. This tour is perfect for those who want to experience this ancient tradition firsthand. It includes a visit to a winery with wine tasting and a typical local lunch. Depending on the season, guests can pick grapes or take part in traditional foot-stomping using fresh grapes provided by our company. The experience also includes a complimentary visit to Castellina in Chianti, an iconic village of the Chianti Classico area, rich in history, culture, and artisan shops. Round-trip transportation from your hotel or apartment in Florence is included.

This was a wonderful excursion that got us out of Florence for the day. Stomping grapes has been on my bucket list so I was happy to check that off. It was also fun to see how much my family enjoyed this.
Buongiorno, Holly! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to receive such positive feedback and to know that we have made our customers happy. We look forward to welcoming you back to Tuscany soon. Your next adventure awaits us!
Gisepi was a fabulous tour guide , showing us all the historical sites and more . He was full off lots of information and really showed us the highlights of Rome in a day . I would highly recommend him to do this tour .
Tommaso was a wonderful guide with a deep understanding of the region and the winery. The winery itself was a small, authentic family run business with the owners and dog on site; we were truly welcome guests in their home. The wine was delicious as was the homemade lunch. The grape stomping made for lots of laughs but the true joy was in the full experience. I highly recommend this tour with Tommaso.
Francesco was a fantastic guide. He gave us lots of Information on the way and showed us around the vineyard. Fantastic lunch with great wine. Unfortunately it started to rain, but we still managed to enjoy the grape stomping which was really fun.
The entire experience was incredible. The lunch was great and the views are amazing. The grape stomping was also lots of fun! Thanks Jessica and Mama Sylvia!!
Buongiorno and thank you for taking the time to write this great review! We are so pleased to know you enjoyed your day with us and well know that Jessica and Silvia are an important part of the experience. We hope to arrange something different during your next stay in Tuscany!
This experience exceeded our expectations! Our tour guide was excellent, she picked us up and first brought us to Monteriggioni, which was a cool walled medieval town. We then arrived to the winery where we met the family that owns the winery and learned about the history of the winery. We then stomped grapes, which was so much fun! They they even took photos and videos of us stomping! Afterwards, we had lunch and tried many wines! This was some of the best food we had on our trip, as it was all freshly made. We still crave the cheese and boar ragu pasta! Our tour guide was super personable and knowledgeable, we can’t express enough how awesome she was! We felt so special and lucky to visit this family owned vineyard. We would recommend this once in a lifetime experience to anyone looking for a quiet, unique and intimate experience.
Everything about this experience was fantastic! The food, the wine, the tour, the views!! We couldn't have asked for a better way to start our Italian adventure. And my mom is a big I Love Lucy fan, and this was a dream come true for her hahahah!
Jessica was a fantastic tour guide!! We had the best family fun day…prob one of our favorite activities in our two weeks in Italy!! The wine was delicious, as was the lunch and olive oils!! We can’t wait for our order to arrive that we had shipped!! Wonderful day, I would highly recommend!!
Such fun and our lunch was excellent. The farmhouse is beautiful and our guide Jessica was the very best. We will never forget this experience!
We met with our guide Leonardo in Florence and he was so full of history and information. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and then we arrived at the farm and met the family who runs the farm. It was so full of information and the food and wine here are truly amazing! This was the highlight of our ten days in Italy and of course the wine stomping was fun! This is a don't miss item on anyone's tour list in Italy! We highly recommend it!
