This small-group tour lasts about eight hours and begins in Florence with a meeting and briefing from an English-speaking driver-guide. The group travels by air-conditioned vehicle to the Chianti wine region. The first stop is Tenuta Riseccoli, an organic, family-owned hilltop winery. Visitors tour the estate, which features rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves, and taste a selection of wines and olive oil. Next, the tour continues to Greve in Chianti, a typical village in the Chianti Classico area. Guests spend about 30 to 45 minutes exploring Piazza Matteotti and browsing local shops, including the well-known Falorni butcher. After a scenic drive along the Strada Statale 222 Chiantigiana wine road, the group arrives at Casa Emma winery. Here, visitors learn about the estate’s history and winemaking process, then enjoy a typical Tuscan light lunch with assorted cold cuts, cheeses, bruschetta, pasta, and dessert, paired with several wines such as Chianti Classico, Riserva, and Super Tuscans, along with local olive oil. The final stop is Villa Poggio Torselli, a historic family villa and winery. Weather permitting, guests can visit the gardens and enjoy views over Florence. Wine tastings focus on indigenous grape varieties, especially Sangiovese. This last visit allows comparison of wines and production styles from three different estates, capturing the essence of Chianti. The tour ends with a relaxing drive back to Florence. Vegetarian options are available on request. The itinerary and wineries may change depending on availability. The tour is not recommended for those with walking disabilities due to uneven surfaces and stairs at some wineries. Luggage can be stored on the vehicle during the tour. The minimum age to join is 12 years old, and infants are not allowed.
