Additional Information

Explore the highlights of Chianti Classico traversing the backroads of Tuscany on a Land Rover Defender. Experience the enchanting allure of Tuscany’s off-the-beaten-path gravel roads, known as ‘le strade bianche’. These lesser-known, picturesque paths meander through vineyards, olive groves, and thick forests, offering awe-inspiring panoramas. This route allows us access to select wineries, from quaint family-operated ventures to large-scale producers dominating our market. This journey unveils not only the natural splendor of the zone but also some of the most esteemed Tuscan wines: Chianti Classico and its many varieties. Explore all aspects of wine production, from the vine to the glass, and unearth the mysteries surrounding it. Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, you will tour vineyards and wine cellars, sample a variety of wines and spirits along with other regional products like extra virgin olive oil and organic honey. The tour concludes with a traditional Tuscan lunch in a truly authentic environment.

Wine and olive oil - Trip was fantastic. Our guides were great and shared many great stories. The 3 wineries we went to were amazing. Each very different but all with a great product. We loved trying the fresh olive oils at each as well.

Highlight of our trip to Italy! - Our family had a great time with Tommaso and Francesco as our guides. We spent about two weeks in Italy and it was the highlight of our trip. Wine was amazing, food was amazing, and each of the wineries was unique and welcoming. Tommaso and Francesco were wonderful guides and were very knowledgeable of the area. Can not recommend enough!! We are already planning to try another tour on our next trip to Italy.

Book this ASAP! - Gabriele took us to the most amazing vineyards. He was so nice and hospitable. Every owner of each vineyard was amazing and opened their home/ history to us. We truly felt like this was a once in a lifetime experience. We came here for our honeymoon and this experience felt so magical. Thank you to the whole team and Gabriele especially. Grazie Mille!

Beautiful Tuscany Wine Tour! - This was a wonderful addition to our trip and a great way to see the country side. We were new to wine tasting, and Leonardo (our guide) walked us step by step through the process. It was fun to see beautiful Tuscany! The winery's we visited felt intimate. It was neat to see the process used to produce the wines. Our lunch was divine on a private family farm. The food was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Book a tour with Fillipo!! - This was an absolutely incredible tour. We knew very little about wine beforehand and we agreed our wine knowledge quadrupled by the end, not to mention our knowledge of the Tuscan area. For example, did you know Siena and Florence were/are rivals? We expected to learn about wine but also got an awesome cultural and historical experience. Sylvia at the second winery prepared a fantastic lunch and we were happily full on wine and snacks by the end. The hospitality of the people of Tuscany cannot be matched. Definitely worth a day trip from Florence. And if you can, ask for Fillipo. He was our sommelier for the day and he was absolutely a huge reason we loved this so much. He was born and raised in the Tuscan area and his knowledge of Tuscany and it's wine is unmatched. He took time to answer all of our questions and gave us some tips on picking out wine in Italy, as well as suggestions for the area. We could not have asked for a better guide for the day. We plan to return in the late summer just to book with him again during peak wine season - as we learned, there are other wine regions in Tuscany to explore and we can't imagine a better guide to do it with. Thank you Fillipo!!
