The experience

The tour picks you up from your chosen departure city and drives into Chianti, the region where Tuscan wine tradition runs deepest. You'll stop at two different wineries (working estates, not tourist showrooms), where a wine expert walks you through the tasting process at each one. The guide explains what you're drinking: how the grapes grow in these hills, what the winemaking does to the flavor, why one bottle tastes nothing like the other. You taste multiple wines at both stops, so by the end you've tried a real range of what Chianti produces.

At one of the wineries, lunch arrives. It's light, not a full meal, but food that pairs with the wines you've just tasted, the kind of thing Tuscan families eat when they're spending an afternoon in the vineyard. The minivan is air-conditioned, which matters in summer, and the group stays small: eight people maximum, so you're not herded through like a bus tour. The whole day runs seven hours from pickup to drop-off.

Can I book this tour if I don't drink alcohol?

The tour centers on wine tasting at both wineries, and the minimum age to taste is 18. If you prefer not to taste, you can still visit the wineries and eat the light lunch, but the experience is built around the wine itself.

What's included in the light lunch?

The lunch is served at one of the two wineries and pairs with the wines you've tasted. The operator asks that you mention any food restrictions when you book so they can arrange accordingly.

How many people can join one tour?

A single tour group maxes out at eight people. If your party is larger, you'll need to book two separate tours.
