Tuscany Wine & Food Tours Your private tasting experience

Into the cellars.
Into the countryside.

Your driver at the door. The hills of Chianti an hour away. The rest is wine.

Your private Mercedes driver meets you at your hotel, villa, or apartment — wherever you are staying in Tuscany. No shared minibus, no fixed departure point, no group of strangers with different ideas about how to spend the day. The itinerary has been arranged around you: the wineries confirmed in advance, the timing agreed, the route planned. When you step into the vehicle, everything is already in place.

The drive into wine country is part of the experience. From Florence, the road climbs south through the Chianti Classico — the historic heartland of Tuscan wine, a territory of old estates, medieval towers and vine rows that have been producing wine since before the Renaissance. The landscape changes quickly once you leave the city: cypresses, white gravel roads, stone farmhouses half-hidden in the hillside. By the time you reach the first winery, you are already somewhere else entirely.

Your driver accompanies you to the entrance, introduces you to the estate, and then leaves you entirely to the experience. The visit — a guided tour of the cellar or the vineyards, a seated tasting of the estate's wines, perhaps a light lunch with local cheeses, cured meats and olive oil — unfolds at its own pace. There is no fixed time limit. When you are ready to leave, your driver is waiting.

Between the two wineries, the route passes through some of the most beautiful villages in Tuscany — Greve in Chianti, with its triangular medieval piazza and the butcher shops of the Falorni family that have been ageing salumi under the arcades since 1806; Panzano, the hilltop village above the Conca d'Oro — the golden valley considered the finest growing ground in the entire Chianti Classico zone; Radda, one of the three original villages of the ancient Lega del Chianti, its medieval walls still intact, its streets quiet enough that you can hear the bells. Whether a village stop happens between the two wineries or after the second, depends entirely on the timing of the day — your driver will read the pace and suggest the moment that works best.

The second winery follows the same pattern: the appointment confirmed in advance, the estate expecting you, the tasting arranged to your preferences. Some guests prefer two estates in the same zone — a vertical comparison of Chianti Classico or Brunello. Others prefer variety: a first stop in Chianti, a second in Montecarlo, the small appellation between Pisa and Lucca whose white wines are almost unknown outside the region. Or a morning in the Chianti hills and an afternoon at a Super Tuscan estate near the coast. The combination is yours to choose — or yours to ask us to suggest.

What does not change is the structure: a private vehicle, a driver who knows the roads and the estates, appointments confirmed in advance so you are received properly rather than arriving as walk-ins, and a day that moves at exactly the speed you want it to move. If the second tasting runs long because the conversation with the winemaker became interesting, the driver waits. If you want to stop in a village for a coffee or to buy a bottle to take home, the route adjusts. The day is yours.
