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.

We had an amazing experience and thoroughly enjoyed the variety of wines they offered. The experience is amazing and highly recommended this tour.
When the description says, "wine tour," i envision a tour of the vineyards and a glimpse at the wine making process. This was, "you can take a picture for Instagram with these grapevine before we start the tasting." Also, it would be very helpful if they gave the name of the vineyard because we booked 2 tours through Viator and ended up at the same place. That said, this tasting was very nice-good pairings and great explanation of what we were tasting.

Great tour. But be aware, there is a 20 minute walk from the meeting location to the bus that you ride to the vineyard. The wine tasting was superb, well executed and entertaining. I went with my husband and two kids (age 20 & 22). Everyone had a great time! The bus ride through the countryside was very enjoyable!

The Wine tasting was lovely however the meeting point was not clear at all - it’s tucked away. Other tours I’ve been on the meeting point was at the bus parking lot (where our guide actually led us to) and that was actually easier to find than meeting in the station. I would suggest someone waiting out of the ticked away place with a clear flag as it was a stressful start to the trip and also meant as a couple we couldn’t sit together on the bus.

The wine was not great, our guide was super. Atmosphere was good, bus driver was awful. Just my opinion

This was a good trip to a winery in what appears to be a commercial/warehouse area. The bus ride was comfortable getting out there. It was a bit of a walk from the train station to where the bus is actually parked. The guides were good. They did a good job with our group and giving individual attention. The length of time there was plenty long enough. The wine pairings were done well and we learned a bit. They accommodated vegetarians-switching out the meat plate with one with veggies and cheese. Overall, the wine was okay. Very expensive to purchase but people were purchasing wine. They also offered vinegar and olive oil. Again, expensive for the quality. We enjoyed the trip but wouldn’t do it again.

Put the meeting location into Google and it is very easy to find the visitor information meeting place. There is a 7 minute walk as a group to the bus from the station. It was very nice being driven to the winery beautiful views. Not much time in the vineyard. Mainly set up for people to take quick photos then into the wine tasting room. You can ask for refills and try all the wines and repeat as you want. It was a fun afternoon/early evening activity. Minimal physical activity and a rest from rushing to see different sites
