Highlights
- Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale - Check-in and departure point
- Villa le Corti - Our first stop of the day is at a beautiful winery belonging to one of the most prestigious Italian aristocratic families. Here we taste three wines paired with cured meats and two olive oils but first, there’s a fascinating guided tour of the historic wine cellars and to the olive mill through underground tunnels that pass under the villa.
- Località Rignana - Now buckle-up and get ready for some off-roading through ancient woodland and rolling hills, outlined with cypress trees and dotted with rustic farms and churches, to make our way to a typical Tuscan winery restaurant with stunning views. Here is where we will really get your taste buds tingling with delicious food and wine. You will not want to leave!
- Poggio Torselli - We go deeper into the Chianti hills and enjoy more incredible countryside on our way to a Chianti Classico vineyard. As a contrast to the established winery of the morning, this one is smaller and less known though does have two award winning wines which you will taste as you find out how ancient tradition and innovation have been combined to create them.

A perfect Tuscan countryside experience - My favorite Tuscany tour from Florence. Angie was so friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable about the wines, olive oils, history, and agricultural practices in the region. Beautiful sweeping landscapes and villas. Nice small group. The mini bus was nice and fun to ride. It is worth noting that the roads can be a bit bouncy in parts due to the natural landscape, but it was not bad. The lunch was delicious--we had fresh truffle ravioli and wild boar ragu with pappardelle. If course, the Chianti and Chianti classico wine pairings were amazing and delicious with the food.

One of a time experience, totally worth it - What a great trip! Sara was an incredible guide, so nice, funny and informative. She was very sweet to talk to and taught us a lot about the Tuscan wines and their history. Chris was a great bus driver and got us everywhere we needed to go as smoothly as possible through the Tuscan backroads. I’d definitely recommend this trip!
