Chianti hills recall the ideal Tuscan countryside: rolling hills covered by vineyards and olive trees groves and dominated by cypress trees.
By the way Chianti is more than that, is a land that in centuries of history has found a delicate balance with nature, based on love for this land and its products. Generations of farmers carried on to modern times a simple yet desirable lifestyle, and made Chianti one the most famous destination in the world.

All about the Chianti Classico Wine tour.
Your local expert driving guide will meet you directly at your accommodation, in a short while you will be heading south on the “Chianti Road”. While you will learn about history and traditions of the area, we will drive on this enchanting countryside to make a first stop in Greve in Chianti. The town’s square is surrounded by arcaded sidewalks perfect for a stroll to browse local shops and cafés.
Next, with a short drive we reach the Castle of Montefioralle, this lovely village might make you wonder if it is real or a daydream. At lunch we will reach a local winery, here you will be greeted by a guide that will introduce you to the process of wine making, and the tradition of Chianti wine, after that a private lunch, a full meal of local food will be served in the same winery, along with that you will be introduced to Chianti, Chianti Riserva and Super Tuscan wines.
After lunch a short drive and we will reach Castellina in Chianti, the ideal place to recall the military past of Chianti, once the border among two fighting states: Florence and Siena. The drive is very scenic and will offer plenty of beautiful spots to stop for pictures. Left Castellina, a second wine tasting awaits for you, we will choose a different winery to let you appreciate two different approaches to wine making. This will be our final stop before we head back to your accommodation in Florence.
