Chianti Wine Tasting from Pisa: Tuscan Hills Tour

Taste wines where they're made, then taste the olive oil and cheese that go with them.

A small-group wine tour from Pisa into the Tuscan hills, where you visit a working winery to taste red, white and organic wines alongside local pecorino cheese, cured ham and bruschetta. The producer walks you through the vineyard, the aging cellar and the methods behind each bottle, and the tour runs four to five hours with a guide in English or Italian and hotel pickup included.

Step-by-step itinerary

Tuscan winery visit and tasting

• Travel to Tuscan countryside

• Learn about wine and olive oil production
• Visit cantina and learn aging process
• Taste wines and extra-virgin olive oil
• Taste local food like cheese and ham

The experience

The drive from Pisa takes you into countryside where the winery sits among its own vines. You'll meet the owners and producers, who walk you through how they grow grapes organically and age the wine in the cantina before it reaches the bottle. Weather permitting, you see the vineyard itself: the vines, the grapes, the land that makes the difference between one Chianti and another.

The tasting happens in stages. First you taste their extra-virgin olive oil with bruschetta, then move to the wines: red, white, and whatever else they've chosen to pour that day. Alongside the glasses come local pecorino cheese and cured ham, the foods Tuscans pair with wine at their own tables. It's the kind of tasting where the producer is standing there, not a staff member reading from a card, and they talk about what they do and why they do it.

A driver picks you up from your Pisa hotel and handles the route, so you're free to focus on the tasting and the conversation. The group stays small, which means the producer isn't splitting attention across thirty people. You get four to five hours on the ground, enough time to move through the vineyard, the cellar and the tasting without rushing.
