Florence, the historic heart of Tuscany, serves as the gateway to one of Italy's most celebrated wine regions: Chianti. Just south of this Renaissance city, rolling hills carpeted with vineyards, olive groves, and quaint medieval villages create a landscape that has defined Italian wine culture for centuries. Under The Tuscan Sun Tours offers a distinctive way to experience this famed terroir—a private, 8-hour immersion into Chianti’s world of wine and olive oil hosted by a seasoned Sommelier and a local wine producer. This is no ordinary tasting tour. It is a carefully crafted encounter with Tuscan viticulture that goes beyond sipping glasses of Sangiovese nestled amongst the vines.
The journey unfolds across three renowned wineries, each chosen for its unique heritage, winemaking philosophy, and quality.
