- Villa le Corti - 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, there’s a fascinating guided tour of the historic wine cellars and to the olive mill through underground tunnels that pass under the villa.
- Località Rignana - 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!
- Poggio Torselli - 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 Tuscan wine tour - This wine tour took us throughout beautiful Tuscany areas. Angelina was a great guide who was friendly and explained the wine making process and the unique history of each stop. Roberto did a great job driving us around in the very cool 4x4. Overall, this was a fun day getting to taste different Tuscan wine and foods.

Was really fortunate to... - Was really fortunate to have been able to be part of just a small group of 6 with our sommelier guide Lavinia and driver Emilio.
I think if it were a larger group as someone has mentioned it would not be as fun. It was as if we were on a private tour and the tour was able to accommodate extra stops for photo taking opportunities.
All the destinations chosen for this tour were excellent and overall it was a very intimate and fun experience. Even though certain wines were not included in the wine tasting the estates were only too happy to oblige special requests. Food and views were fantastic and Lavinia was the perfect guide. She knew when to let us enjoy the views and she gave a very down to earth and comprehensive explanation of Chianti wine without overdoing it.

This day was enchanting! - What a perfect day I had in Chianti. I had dreamed of seeing Tuscany for such a long time and I enjoyed this tour very much. The villas, the olive oil, lunch and wine tasting was incredible. Lavi is a fantastic and caring guide. I highly recommend this day tour from Florence.

Great Experience - I'm late writing this but would highly recommend this tour. Alex was our guide and was fantastic! The meeting place was next to the Galleleo museum and left on time. We visited multiple wineries and learned many things about the Chianti region. It was a great way to spend the day. It was extrmely hot when we were there and every effort was made to keep everyone comfortable. If you're in Florence defiently check this tour out and ask for Alex! He was so knowlegable and a pleasure to listen to!

Wonderful vineyard tour with family - My husband and 2 kids (26 and 24) loved this experience! Sara was such a good guide; we couldn't have asked for better. She really took time to talk to us personally, and we enjoyed talking to a local. She has a great personality. I cannot say anything but good things about the tour. Each stop was just lovely. Our lunch was delicious, and we enjoyed getting to know others on our tour. It rained continually throughout the day, and with the fog, we couldn't see much of the views, but it was still worth every minute to see how wine is made. Definitely recommend this trip!

Absolutely Worth your Time and Money! - This trip exceeded expectations. It was fun, informative, interesting, and well managed. Even in the rain, Angela made the day work with her lively commentary and her positive attitude. You will visit three wineries where you may see wine-making in progress, you will see beautiful estates and antique cellars, and lovely gardens. The driver also did a terrific job navigating the narrow and wet streets!

Perfect day - The perfect day! The wineries were stunning and all of the wine and food was amazing. Lavinia was our tour guide and she made the day even more special. She was very knowledgeable and was a great resource for leaning about Tuscan and the wine that it offers. Christophe was our driver and he was also great!

Wonderful day of wine tasting in Tuscany! - We went on this tour on our last day in Florence. We enjoyed everything about this tour; the small group size, the vehicle, the driver, the Tuscan scenery, beautiful villas, amazing lunch and snacks, and the delicious and abundant wine! Many thanks to our guide, Alex, who was very knowledgable and friendly.
The only thing I would say about this tour is that, as it was our last day in Italy, we were tired and the lenght of the tour was just a bit too long for us. For us, personally, another time we would opt for a tour which was shorter in length (such as 4 hours).
