This is a small-group tour for up to 25 people from Florence to authentic wineries in the Chianti Classico region. The daytime tour includes tastings of wine, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar at 3 wineries, and a lunch of Tuscan specialties with views over the vineyards. You also have free time in Greve in Chianti, a town that keeps a medieval atmosphere. The dinner option departs in the afternoon, visiting 2 wineries and enjoying a Tuscan-style dinner with wine at a vineyard villa.

Depart from Piazzale Montelungo in Florence and travel along winding Tuscan hills to the Chianti Classico region. Chianti Classico is a wine region between Florence and Siena, well known for its black rooster (Gallo Nero) emblem. An English-speaking driver/guide accompanies you, and the tour runs in a small group of up to 25 people.

At your first stop, an organic winery, you tour the underground cellar and learn about the winemaking process. The winery is in the Chianti area, which is famous for red wines made from Sangiovese grapes, so the tasting focuses mainly on red wines.

Travel to Greve in Chianti for free time. Stroll around the triangular central square surrounded by arcades to feel the medieval atmosphere, and browse shops run by local artisans.

At the second hilltop winery, taste wines guided by a wine expert, and enjoy a light lunch of Tuscan specialties overlooking the vineyards. Lunch consists of sliced cold cuts, ham, salami, cheese, bruschetta, pasta (usually handmade), and dessert, served with wine.

Finally, visit a historic family-owned villa to see the Italian garden and the view overlooking Florence, and compare the philosophy and winemaking methods of the three wineries during the last tasting.

The dinner option departs from Florence at 2:30 PM. Taste wines with local olive oil at an organic winery on a hill, and walk around and take photos in a medieval town such as Greve in Chianti or Castellina in Chianti. In the evening, enjoy this farm's wines and a Tuscan-style dinner at the villa, the second winery, and arrive back in Florence at around 10 PM.
