Highlights
  • Florence - We’ll pick you up from your accommodation in Florence at 3:15 pm. Our driver typically arrives at your address by 3:00 pm. The drive to the first winery will take around 50 minutes.
  • Fattoria di Luiano - Luiano has been producing wine and olive oil since the 9th century. The estate has been owned by notable Florentine families, including the Strozzi. In 1959, the Palombo family took over and shifted from mixed agriculture to focus solely on vine cultivation, achieving top-quality wine. The Sangiovese grape is the predominant variety grown here. The estate’s long winemaking tradition is evidenced by ancient cellars built during the Renaissance. You’ll tour the property, vineyard, and wine cellars where vinification occurs and wines are showcased. Afterward, enjoy a Chianti-based wine tasting with a scenic view.
  • Castellinuzza - Experience a guided tour of the winery led by the owner, whose passion is evident in every wine produced. This commercial farm has been family-run since 1970 and is certified organic. The vineyard’s stony, challenging, south-facing terroir is ideal for Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Beyond wine tasting, you’ll enjoy a 3-course dinner prepared by an Italian chef using only fresh, local ingredients. Dinner is served in the serene and exclusive setting of the winery, epitomizing the Tuscan countryside.

Loved it - This private tour was absolutely wonderful. We'd booked it mainly for Michelle, since I'm not a wine drinker. Well, to my surprise, it turns out that not only do I like some wines, but I enjoyed several on the tour! The tour took us to two Chianti wineries, both of which we enjoyed very much. The first had some of its process tanks(?) contained in the cellar of a 10th-century church! They also produced their own gin, which I liked enough to have shipped to me back here in the states. The second winery was also quite lovely, and the dinner that the matriarch of that winery was nothing less than beautiful. We had wine with each course, which I found to be an interesting new experience. Finally, our tour guide was spectacular. He had a steady stream of stories to tell about all the places we were seeing or stopping at, and he caught on to our preferences (i.e., we like a good amount of detail in stories) quickly, and fed them with relish. All told, the whole day was one of those once-in-a-lifetime memories for us. We recommend Enotropea unreservedly.

FANTASTIC!! - Private tour with a very knowledgeable local sommelier(Daria). Visited 2 separate facilities- each unique and very informative. It should go without saying the wine was FANTASTIC and the meal at the second winery was amazing as well. A very worthwhile experience for my wife and i on our 10yr anniversary to Italy! Would Highly recommend to anyone looking for something more than just a tour.

Loved this tour and dinner! - We had a lovely time on our tour and would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Italy! Beautiful views with delicious food and wine in the owner's house, complemented with the historical background of the beautiful Chianti area. Both vineyards we visited were very scenic and the hosts very informative. Also, excellent job taking into account COVID safety considerations. Thank you Enotropea for this amazing tour!!

Amazing private tour with a Master Sommelier - Truly amazing experience and one of our main highlights during a recent Italy trip at the end of August! If you’re looking for a great private experience this is it. We had Angelo as our guide who has amazing experience and is one of only couple hundred Master Sommelier in the world. His knowledge was outstanding and educational for us. He chooses local small wineries that are typically owned and run by a family. We visited two wineries in beautiful Tuscan countryside settings and got the tours by the owners themselves and their passion was truly outstanding and affectionate. We learned a lot, tasted amazing wine, had amazing food and finished with an amazing dinner paired with the perfect bottle of wine overlooking the Tuscan countryside. The tour was definitely worth the money, the tour might not be the cheapest option but you won’t regret it. Angelo and all the wineries families we met were super friendly, attentive and spend as much time as we wanted with us, answering all our questions, sharing their passion for wine and explaining many aspects about wine we never knew. We can’t recommend the tour highly enough. As it’s truly private, just your booking, it’s a highly personalised experience - come with an open mind and heart and ready to engage in a great immersive experience experience.
