Longing to sample premium blends and learn to evaluate acidity, aroma and "the nose"? This is the tour that answers all of it.
Enjoy an unparalleled Chianti wine tour from Florence, uncover the secrets of local tradition, and explore the green heart of this marvelous region and its mysterious cellars. Few wine regions in the world carry the history, the prestige, and the sheer beauty of Chianti, and this experience puts you right at the heart of it. Designed to provide real insight into the realm of world-class Tuscan wine, our private wine tour from Florence allows you to discover vineyards, farmsteads, wineries and countryside mansions firsthand, getting behind the labels, and into the bottles, of some of the world's most exceptional wines: the award-winning, world-acclaimed Super Tuscans. Wines that broke the rules of Italian winemaking and changed them forever.
Unique among Florence wine tours, our Super Tuscan wine tour offers a real privilege: enjoying the comfort of a small-group experience, with a maximum of eight participants, and visiting exclusive wineries that are not open to the general public.
DISCOVER THE WINES OF THE CHIANTI HILLS
Depart from Florence and travel to the enchanting Chianti hills. Endowed with a mild climate, bright sunshine and bountiful soil, this area provides ideal conditions for growing vines and producing the superb wines for which it is renowned. The landscape alone, rolling hills, ancient estates, cypress-lined roads, is worth the journey.
Led by a knowledgeable guide and the wineries' dedicated sommeliers, you will have the chance to dive into the history and tradition of wine while visiting the cellars of three different estates specializing in Super Tuscan production: two renowned local wineries and a small boutique estate. Each one distinct in character, united by an uncompromising commitment to quality.
LEARN ABOUT CHIANTI CLASSICO AND SUPER TUSCAN WINES
During the day, you will have the opportunity to learn what distinguishes Chianti Classico from a Super Tuscan, explore the cellars, discover how to pair wine with food and understand the different approaches and techniques used by local winemakers. By the end of the day, you won't just appreciate these wines differently — you'll drink them differently too.
ENJOY A TUSCAN WINE-PAIRING LUNCH
Crown your wine-tasting experience with a memorable Tuscan wine-pairing lunch held in the fascinating setting of the boutique winery: soul-satisfying flavors paired with the estate's finest wines, each course chosen to reveal a new dimension of the glass beside it. The perfect finale to a rich, wine-filled day.
