This half-day tour offers an escape from Florence to the Chianti wine region, known for its rolling hills and vineyards. The tour begins at Piazzale Montelungo bus terminal, located about a 5-10 minute walk from Santa Maria Novella train station. After meeting an English-speaking guide, participants board a coach equipped with free Wi-Fi for a 40-minute drive to Chianti. During the drive, the guide provides information about the history of wine production and the Gallo Nero symbol. In Chianti, the group visits two wine estates set among hills and olive groves. At each estate, visitors walk through the vineyards and tour the wine cellars while learning about the winemaking process. Wine tastings include sampling 3 to 4 types of Chianti wines per estate, paired with local products such as extra-virgin olive oil, cheese, salami, and balsamic vinegar. The outdoor terraces offer a place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The visit to the two estates lasts about four hours. After the tastings, the coach returns to Florence, arriving back at Piazzale Montelungo. The total duration of the tour is approximately five hours.
