Hiking Tuscany & Chianti Wine - 3 Organic Wineries with lunch

Manuel was a very personable and knowledgeable guide. The semi-private tour made it a more intimate experience. We learned so much about Chianti Classico! We loved the first two small family wineries and even purchase some of their wine to ship home. Loved the flow of the tour ... driving to the first winery then hiking to the 2nd winery where we enjoyed a lovely and delicious lunch with mama's homemade pasta. After lunch, we hike to the last winery ... a larger corporate environment. The pace of the hikes was appropriate for the small group and we never felt rushed. We'd recommend this tour for wine lovers that enjoy a little movement and stunning scenery.

We bought this for my Dad’s 70th birthday and I’m so glad we did! My family and I had a wonderful time and the money was well worth it! Alessandro was a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and went above and beyond for us. Stefano was very helpful beforehand and everything was clearly explained to us. The journey from Florence was very comfortable. The hiking was just right - not too long and easy enough terrain but still very interesting with beautiful views! The 3 wineries were each very unique which gave us a really good insight into independent Tuscan family vineyards. We enjoyed 5 different wines in each vineyard and plenty of delicious food, including an amazing Italian lunch made by Ana at Vallone Di Cecione. I would recommend to anyone looking for day out near Florence.

Our tour experience in Chianti Classico with Manuel was very intimate, sharing the tour with another couple from the USA. Manuel shared his passion and knowledge of the area and its delicious wines. The hikes from winery to winery were not too strenuous and Manuel walked at a good pace. We enjoyed tasting wines from all 3 wineries but thoroughly enjoyed the experience at the 2 smaller family wineries.

My wife and I recently took a hiking tour with Out of the Box Florence and it was a great experience. Lorenzo our guide was incredible, knowledgeable, friendly and very passionate about the area we hiked. The 3 wineries were amazing. Would highly recommend this tour it was definitely the highlight of our trip.

This experience is incredible. Lorenzo is a true local and will guide you to 3 Chianti wineries by trekking. This is a small company and truly cares for a meaningful experience. Highly highly recommend.

This was a well organized and enjoyable experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We loved walking through the countryside from one winery to another!

We've spent just over three weeks in Italy, and our guided Chianti Classico tour with Out of The Box Florence was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our entire trip! We began with a scenic drive through the breathtaking Tuscan countryside, then hiked between three beautiful wineries. The first two were small and intimate (just our style!), and the third was a bit larger but a wonderful private tour and tasting. We tasted a variety of delicious wines, conversed with the winemakers themselves, and also sampled their exquisite olive oils. At the second winery, we were treated to an authentic Tuscan lunch, prepared by the winemaker's mother—absolutely delicious! Our guides, Johnny and Guilia, was incredibly knowledgeable about wine, the region, and the plants we encountered along the way. It was clear that he deeply cares about the region and sustainable tourism. His passion for the area made the experience even more enriching. This was an unforgettable adventure that my wife and I will remember for years to come. I can't recommend this experience highly enough! Just a heads-up: this isn't a leisurely stroll. We covered about 5 miles of rolling hills with significant elevation changes, so be sure to wear proper footwear.

Lorenzo was a fantastic guide! we were supposed to be a group of 4 but the other couple dropped out last minute. My husband and I ended up on a private tour. We had an amazing time hiking the beautiful vines of Chianti and learned about the terrain and local vegetation along the way. We stopped at 3 wineries along the way both small and mid-sized. We had local organic meats and cheeses to pair with our wine and a homemade Italian meal. If you are even considering this experience... BOOK IT! I can not recommend this experience enough.

Stefano began by patiently answering our questions weeks before the trip. He checked in with us as our date approached and then arrived to pick us up in Florence city center at the pre-planned time and location with his clean, spacious van. Our trek included our two adult children. Stefano was the perfect host. His English is impeccable, and he was kind to share some history of Florence, the Tuscany region, and more as we arrived in Chianti. When we realized we accidentally brought sparkling water, he stopped to be sure we had the chance to get still water. Our family of four includes a landscape architect, an ecologist, and a college minor in sustainable agriculture. He was patient to answer so many questions about the area, plants, and flowers that we saw. Our hike was exactly as expected in terms of duration and difficulty, but it was far more beautiful and peaceful than anything we could have imagined. Each winery was unique, but all welcomed us, gave us detailed information about their grapes, olives, and history, and each shared their delicious products. We had the opportunity to purchase wine and olive oil from all, but none were high-pressure situations. Our first case arrived within days of our return home! Stefano was careful to be sure we were each comfortable and he gave accurate details along the way so that we would understand how far to the next stop. While we visited the final winery, he somehow retrieved the van and had it cooled and ready to take us back to Florence. Our only regret is not staying in the area longer and having him take us to Cinque Terre too! We highly recommend Stefano, Out of the Box Florence, and look forward to returning in the future for one of his other treks! Grazie Mille!

We booked a hiking tour of Chianti Classico with Out of The Box Florence, and it was a dream! We took a scenic drive through charming villages in the Tuscan countryside, then hiked between three wineries. We got to meet the vintners and hear their stories. Then we had some of their wine with cheese and meats of the region, along with amazing views! Our guide was very knowledgeable about wine and the area. We could tell that he cares deeply about protecting the environment and educating the public about sustainable tourism ... but he also made it fun! It was an unforgettable experience that our family will be talking about for many years.
