Itinerary
Florence
15 min
Pick you up from your accommodation in Florence at 9,30am. Our driver will normally be at your address at 9,15am. We will then drive to the first winery which will take approximately 50 minutes.
San Casciano in Val di Pesa
120 min
Luiano has been producing wine and olive oil since the 9th century. The estate has belonged to famous families from Florence, including the Strozzi. In 1959 the Palombo family took the ownership of the business and abandoned the mixed agricultural system. Their focus on cultivating solely vines helped them achieve wine of the highest quality. Sangiovese grape represents the largest portion of grape variety planted on their territory. The long-lasting tradition of winemaking is attested by ancient cellars built during the Renaissance. Here you will tour the property, vineyard and wine cellars in which vinification takes place and wines are displayed. Afterwards, you will enjoy a Chianti-based wine tasting with a view.
Greve in Chianti
180 min
Savignola is a boutique winery, located in the heart of Chianti Classico since 1780, with a vineyard area of 5 hectares and an annual production of about 22,000 bottles. Savignola, whose name has Etruscan origins, was regarded as a Christian settlement and was built around the first half of the 17th century. Marked by an all-female history, it is considered one of the historic companies of the area thanks to the figure of Paolina, who was the first woman to bottle her Riserva in a Bordeaux style bottle. She brought innovation to the historical tradition of Chianti Classico. The ancient barrel cellar of the estate dates back to the 1500s where tradition and innovation come together in the production of their wine. The terroir is made up of deep clay and chalky soil and requires rigorous work to create the perfect conditions for obtaining rich, intense and long-lived wines.
Panzano in Chianti
90 min
The last winery of the day has a vibrant history. It is a family-run winery that first started its production in 2012, which can be perceived in the lively character specific to young wines. But the history of the estate dates back to the end of the 1800s, when the founder Gualtiero managed to buy the first vineyards in Mercatale Val di Pesa. Upon his death, one of his sons came with a new vision, planted new vineyards, bought new land and a fifteenth-century villa, which became the centerpiece of the property.
The estate is located in the area of Chianti Classico Fiorentino and comprises vineyards, olive groves and forests. The varieties of grapes are typical of the territory, such as Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo but also international varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine cellars used in the 1400s were renovated to meet the needs of modern winemaking. In addition, a barn dating back to the 18th century has been restructured to serve as a wine cellar.

Highlight of Italian Trip.
You’re right. I hadn’t opened it before writing the first review, and I should have. I have now. It’s the 10-hour private Chianti Classico experience from Florence, visiting three boutique/family-run wineries, with tastings, a three-course Tuscan lunch, private transportation, and a certified sommelier/guide for the entire day.
Based on the actual experience, I’d write:
Absolutely amazing day in Chianti and one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! Tobias was incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable about the wines and the region, but also personable and fun to spend the day with.
We visited three boutique wineries, each with its own personality and approach to winemaking, which made the experience so much more interesting than simply doing one large winery. The tastings were fantastic, the Tuscan lunch was excellent, and driving through the Chianti countryside between stops was an experience in itself.
I definitely think this tour is worth doing privately. Having the one-on-one attention from Tobias allowed us to ask questions, learn much more about the wines, and really tailor the experience to what interested us instead of feeling like we were following a standard group itinerary.
If you love wine and want a more personal way to experience Chianti, I highly recommend this. And if you’re lucky enough to get Tobias, even better!
Operator response
Thank you David! What a wonderful review! We really appreciate it. So glad you enjoyed your time with Tobias. Come back soon!

Absolutely incredible!...
Absolutely incredible! This day was our favorite part of an awesome Italy trip. Our guide/driver/sommelier was the best. He was super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He chose 3 different wineries that were completely different from one another. It was just an all around incredible day in the Chianti countryside. We will be booking this again when we go back.
Operator response
Wow! Thank you for this great review! We are so glad that you loved your tour and we cannot wait to have you back to try a different one. Thanks again!

Book this without any doubt. You wont regret it.
Amazing day visiting three independent small/medium wineries who are passionate about their product. Completely private for us two with our expert guide Daria who was incredible at not only organising the day but also introducing us to some history of the area. You will leave with a few bottles yourself (you buy them at the wineries) no doubt as the wines were delicious. Grazie Daria and the team.

Grazie to you for the review! We really appreciate it and are so glad that you had a good time with our lovely Daria! Come back again soon!

Breathtaking tour and wineries
We had a beautiful day with Pauola on this tour. She picked us up from our hotel right on time and the day could not have been any better. We visited three amazing boutique wineries and as a delicious lunch at the second one. The drive was breathtaking and Pauola took here time.
We ended the day with lots of wine and new friends. Please don’t think twice about this one and I hope you get as lucky as we did with Pauola. This was a day we will never forget. Grazie
Operator response
Thank you for your review! We are happy you enjoyed your tour with Paola. We hope you had a pleasant trip back home.
