The Experience

The day starts with hotel pickup in the city area and a drive into the Chianti region, where the Sommelier begins explaining the wines before you even arrive at the first winery. Rather than moving through a tasting room on your own, you walk the vineyard and cellar with someone trained to connect what you taste to how it was made—the soil, the grape varieties, the aging process. Two wineries means two different approaches to the same region, so you see how Chianti producers work differently from one another and what separates a SuperTuscan from a traditional Chianti.

Lunch happens at one of the wineries, a light meal paired with the wines you have tasted that morning. The minivan is air-conditioned and the group stays small enough that the Sommelier can answer questions as they come up. By the end of seven hours, you have moved through two estates, tasted multiple wines, eaten, and learned enough to recognize what makes Tuscan wine distinct—not from a lecture, but from standing in the place where it happens.
