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.

Beautiful, fun and delicious tour - Such a well thought out and organized tour. My husband and I had a fantastic time exploring Tuscany. The wineries were incredible, the food was incredible and so were the tour guides, Angela and Sergio. The 4x4 vehicle was super fun and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour. Also, so worth the price.

A must on your Florence trip. - We booked a Chianti wine and cheese Safari through viator. Our guide for the day was Gloria and she was glorious! Really knowledgeable, excellent sense of humour, kept our little group going. Excellent wine knowledge as well. Labi the driver was really nice. The tour itself is long, lasting form 9 to 17:20 but you really see a lot. The fact you are driven around in basically a tank, means that you get to experience things you normally would not. We visited 3 wineries, 2 of which also make olive oil. The second stop is lunch with amazing view. I thoroughly recommend booking the tour with this company and you are guaranteed a great experience. You will never buy another bad olive oil again with this insider knowledge!

Spectacular!!! - Absolutely everything about this tour was amazing. A special thank you to our tour guide Lavi, she was so informative and interactive with everyone. We were so glad we spent the money on this tour as it was worth every penny. The wine and the food was delicious. The experience was personalized and everything we were looking for. I would recommend this tour over and over again. I hope I can join it again on our next trip to Chianti.

An essential experience - Sara and Emiliano - wow !! What and amazing experience one we will never forget ! The wine, the food, the vineyards, the views, the history and our wonderful guide Sara - words cannot do the experience justice … you just have to experience it for yourself … P.s. We will be using the sommelier “sign” to show our friends in Australia just a tiny part of what you taught us about wine tasting x
