Chianti Full Immersive Wine & Olive Oil Experience

Chianti wine tour from Firenze: the perfect experience for wine lovers

Description

Get to know the area of the great wines, get to know Tuscany, join the perfect experience for wine lovers with one of the most complete Tuscany wine tours!

Carefully designed to offer an all-round immersive Chianti wine experience, our signature Tuscany Wine tour leads you down country roads and vineyards, through the cellars and straight under the labels and into the bottles of one of the world's most exceptional wines: Chianti!

Enjoy the exclusive privileges of exploring Chianti and Chianti Classico in a small group, aboard a minivan, with the expert guidance of a sommelier throughout your Tuscany Chianti tour.
Renowned worldwide for its precious ruby-red blends the Chianti hillside is unique: a sea of softly rolling hills dotted by swaying cypresses, olive groves and golden farmhouses and a myriad of extensive vineyards. This is the land of the black rooster - il Gallo Nero - which you can see defiantly looking out of all the signs along the countryside roads and labels. The land where back in 1872 the ideal percentage of different grapes (Sangiovese, Canaiolo and others) used to make the area's namesake wine was discovered.

Explore the marvelous realm of wine in its very kingdom, learn about the history, the peculiar characteristics, the different tastes and aromas.
Among the other Tuscany wine tours, this one includes the visit to two wineries and an ancient olive oil mill.
The mill boasts ancient architectural features and modern technology, and produces delicious gourmet olive oil. Enjoy learning about the centuries-old olive oil tradition, the harvesting and pressing process, and finally savor the unique, full, flavor of the estate oil.

Led by your sommelier you will visit two very different wineries. Experience the thrill of exploring the cellars lined with precious blends (both wineries are internationally renowned and acclaimed), learning about wine production in general and about the two different approaches and techniques, and savoring the very best of the estate blends of course!

At the end of the tour savor a typical Tuscan lunch.

“Our small group of 6 met in a central location in the city and the tour started with scenic drive through the hills of Tuscany. Each stop at a winery offered great wine, knowledge and information about the wine, and fantastic scenery all around. The lunch provided was just the right amount to go with the wine. Would recommend!”
