Know More about this tour


Check-in and departure point
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, theres a fascinating guided tour of the historic wine cellars and to the olive mill through underground tunnels that pass under the villa.
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!
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.

    Great day spent learning in the beautiful Tuscan country side! Riding in the off road vehicle was a very fun way to get around, the guys especially liked it! Learning about wines and olive oils was very interesting and lovely to see first hand.

    Great day but the ride to lunch was pretty rough other Thant that Alessandro and Davide were excellent will most likely recommend to anyone

    We had a fantastic tour of the Chianti region in Tuscany. Breathtaking views and scenery throughout the drive including the unique off road portion. We had a great experience led by our guide Angie. She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and facilitated a great experience. We were able to taste quality wine, food and the lunch was delicious. We learned much about the history of the Tuscany region, wine etiquette, wine aging and the wine making process. We were able to taste a number of different wines, cheeses and charcuterie. Everyone on the tour was friendly and we all got along and shared different experiences and backgrounds. Truly an overall fantastic experience we won’t forget.

    Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The stops were great and food was amazing. Would definitely recommend!

    Our tour guide and driver were super friendly! Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and had an amazing energy! Thoroughly enjoyed all of the stops and the history lesson. Only reason we didn’t give it 5 stars is because water wasn’t provided on the bus. It was a very hot day, and it took 20-30 min to get from stop to stop. When we arrive at most of wineries we wouldn’t receive a beverage until 15-30 minutes in so by the time we sit down for the wine tasting we’re all gulping down water. Maybe it they can get away with not providing water on cooler spring/winter tours, but when it’s 95 F/ 35 C water should be mandatory. All in all, 2 thumbs up! Would highly recommend!

    It was an amazing trip: the vineyards, the people, the food and wines....Alex, our guide tour, knows everything. He really made the whole experience unforgettable. If I come back, I will do it again without any doubt. Thank you so much!

    We had an amazing trip with Gloria: she was incredibly well organized and knowledgeable about everything. The bus / beast was incredibly fun to ride in and very unique. We visited 3 very different vineyards with a group of ~15 people and had the best time. I'd highly recommend that anyone looking for a day trip for wine tasting do this one. Prep yourself for lots of Chianti Classico!

  • 25-Aug-2023

    This was the perfect trip! The day ran so smoothly and our guide, Alex, was so knowledgeable about the region and the wines. He made the whole experience unforgettable. I wouldn't hesitate to book on another tour with this company again.
