Overview
The Chianti Classico region, nestled between Florence and Siena, is one of Italy's most celebrated wine destinations. Rolling vineyards, olive groves, cypress-lined roads, charming medieval villages, and breathtaking landscapes create the perfect setting for an unforgettable day in the Tuscan countryside.
Thanks to its unique climate, altitude, and soil, Chianti Classico has become world-famous for producing prestigious DOCG Chianti Classico wines and outstanding extra virgin olive oil, following traditions that date back to the Etruscan civilization.
Your day begins with a stop at the breathtaking Piazzale Michelangelo, Florence's most iconic panoramic viewpoint. From here, you'll enjoy spectacular views over the city's skyline, the perfect way to start your Tuscan adventure and capture some unforgettable photos.
Leaving Florence behind, we'll head into the heart of the Chianti Classico countryside for a visit to a renowned winery. Here you'll enjoy a guided tasting of carefully selected wines paired with traditional Tuscan bruschetta and local specialties while learning about the history, vineyards, and winemaking traditions of the region.
We'll then continue to one of Tuscany's most enchanting medieval villages, where you'll have free time to stroll through its charming streets, admire the historic architecture, browse local artisan shops, and soak up the authentic atmosphere.
Our journey continues to a second winery, beautifully set among the rolling hills of Chianti Classico. Here you'll enjoy a traditional Tuscan lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients and served in an authentic winery setting overlooking the vineyards. Throughout lunch, you'll taste a selection of the estate's signature wines, including Chianti Classico, Chianti Classico Riserva, and Chianti Classico IGT, perfectly paired with each course to create a truly authentic Tuscan experience.
This full-day experience lasts approximately 8 hours, combining exceptional wines, authentic Tuscan cuisine, breathtaking landscapes, and the timeless charm of medieval Tuscany.

Great Vespa Tour
Everything about this tour exceeding my expectations. The staff were all friendly, knowledgeable, and very fun! Not only were we able to ride vespas through the beautiful Tuscan countryside, but we also stopped and visited a few villages and towns in the country. To top it all off, we had a delicious lunch with a wine and olive oil tasting.

Book this tour 👌🏻
I had a great day, mum had a great day, and our fellow passengers had a great day…. Our tour guide Elizabetha was informative and fun and took great care of us making sure the wine was flowing!
Very generous with the wine, the food was all organic from the farm we had our lunch at and was very tasty…
I bottled it on the riding but mum and the other all went and loved it… I stayed back at the stables with the dog…
Would highly recommend…
Also, if you are staying somewhere that doesn’t do breakfast then get to the meeting point a bit early as lovely cafe there….
Met some fab people and carried on the night from there…
Best balsamic vinegar I’ve ever had!

Chianti Wine Tour
This was seriously the best wine tour ever! Our tour guide, Daniel, was amazing; I would definitely suggest requesting him for your tour! He made sure that every moment on the tour was really fun! Our group cannot say enough nice words about him.

Daniele the best tour guide
My sister and I went on this tour and were paired with two others who were great company as well. I recommend the horse tour, but you can also have other people in your party who may not want to ride the horses continue the wine tour while you ride horses for an hour. Daniele was a fantastic driver, even if you find a different tour that's cheaper I'd say this one is definitely worth the extra money. If you like having fun make sure you get Daniele for your tour guide.

Memorable experience!!
This was an amazing trip I believe it is worth every penny! I’ve been in Florence for 2 months now and this is one of (if not my favorite) thing I have done!
