You leave Florence’s stone arteries behind and climb into the folded hills where rows of Sangiovese stand like ordered lines of history. Olive trees lean into the slopes, their leaves glinting as the driver threads narrow country lanes toward two family-run estates that have shaped Chianti’s modern reputation.
These vineyards sit on Pliocene-age soils—clays, galestro and compact limestone—that give Chianti Classico its sharp acidity and savory backbone. The region’s wine culture traces to medieval trade routes and the later codification of Chianti in the 18th and 19th centuries; look for the Gallo Nero mark and estate labels that record decades of selection and technique.
On the tour you’ll move between cellar, barrel room and vineyard, following grapes from hand-harvested bunch to vat and bottle. Tastings typically span 4–7 wines at one estate and another set of 4 at the second, plus focused olive-oil samplings and a Tuscan lunch paired to the wines. Expect cellar stairs, gravel paths through vines and short, gentle walks across slopes with 30–150m of local elevation change.
Practical guidance: dress in closed-toe shoes for cellar steps and vineyard dust; plan to sip slowly—carry water and a small snack before arrival if you’re sensitive to alcohol. The tour runs about five hours with private transfers and English commentary from agronomists and curators. Booking a morning departure helps avoid peak sun and makes the light on the hills better for photos. Whether you come for the Sangiovese structure or the rural ritual of harvest, this is a tactile, low-impact way to read Chianti in three dimensions.
Expect roughly 8–11 pours across the two estates, plus two extra olive-oil tastings; portions are small and meant for evaluation rather than full glasses.
Yes—private air-conditioned transfers from a designated meeting point in Florence are included in the tour price.
Yes—hosts can adjust snacks and the lunch if given prior notice at booking; indicate allergies when you reserve.
Children can join but tastings are for adults; infants may ride in strollers and are required to sit on a lap during transport.
