Wine Experience In Chianti Hills from Florence
Description
Depart from Florence and once at the winery, the tour begins with a warm welcome and a path through the rows, where you will be introduced to the secrets of cultivation, the characteristics of the soil and the grape varieties that give life to the wines you will taste later. The journey continues with a welcome toast of local sparkling wine, followed by a visit to the vinegar cellar. Here you will discover the art of producing Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and the traditional vin santo, two excellences that tell centuries of gastronomic culture. Once in the tasting room, the guided tasting of seven selected wines will begin, including fresh whites, important reds, elegant sparkling wines and a precious vin santo. Each glass is accompanied by typical local products: the ingredients and dishes vary according to the season, so you can find among others local cold cuts and cheeses, organic extra virgin olive oil, oils flavored with white truffle and chilli and aged balsamic vinegar.

Lovely trip, good value for money and all very easy. Great guides who speak good English. We had Chiara E who was lovely and very knowledgeable. Would recommend- a fab way to spend a few hours.
Excellent Wine Tour a must do the wine and snacks were amazing and we met some lovely people. Well worth the money
Tickets to colosseum were cancelled by vendor and we didn’t get a notification I booked all our tours in February 2026 not happy
It's so insanely hot and we were not provided water. The Chianti Tour was beautiful, but alot of walking in the extreme heat was exhausting. Water should be provided.
The wine tour itself was really good. Our guide Emma was fun and energetic. The beginning was not so good we had to suffer 20 min bus ride without AC. It was 90 F. to meet another bus. We met some good people. I would tell others.

The guide was late, and some participants were also late. The main desk staff told us to come back at 2:05 p.m. The voucher stated that we needed to be at the station by 1:40 p.m. to check in. After the guide and the late participants arrived, we then had to walk at least 10–15 minutes to reach the bus. We left around 2:30 p.m., so by the time we arrived at the winery and completed the tasting, our time there was limited. We only had about 40 minutes to walk around and explore. The grounds were beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing; however, there was no food or drinks available for purchase. At the end of the tour, there was no pen available to complete the survey, and I was not provided one either. Since food cannot be brought onto the bus and there was no food available to purchase at the winery, it would have been helpful to have another option. Other than those issues, the tour was enjoyable. The meat, cheese, and wine tasting were good. It would have been nice to visit a variety of wineries rather than just one
Thank you for choosing our service for your trip to Italy. Your review will be valuable for future travelers and for our agency, to improve the service.
The wine tasting was presented very well and tasted very good. The food that was served was well presented and very tasty which complimented the wine. The only negative, we would have liked the tour guide to be more interactive on the way there and back, not a lot of information or history shared.
Good trip, good value for money, 7 wine tastings and some lovely food to accompany the wine. Lot of information about the wine process. Only a short look at the vineyard as it was so hot. Time very very quickly and although it said the experience was 5 hours, we had to walk from the Train station to the Bus station (10/15 mins walk) so didnt leave till 2.30 pm. Too roughly an hour to the Winery/Vineyard. At 5 pm we were advised to finish up and make any purchases as we would be leaving at 5.30. Hours journey back to Bus station, so actually finished at 6.30pm, so it was only a 4 hours trip!!! Could have done with a bit more time, as you didnt really have time to purchase. Although saying that, bottles were priced from around £45/48 minimum!! Go with an open mind and a credit card if you wish to purchase!! I think it should have been advised that pick up was not at the meeting point, this could be a problem for people with walking /mobility issues and considering it was around 40 degrees could have done without the additional walk.
