Chianti: Day Trip from Florence + Wine Tour & Tasting

Additional Information & Description

Chianti’s vineyards and rolling hills set the scene for a wine-focused day trip from Florence. Leave the city for a gastronomic outing surrounded by the Tuscan countryside, where the landscape is as much a part of the visit as the wine in your glass.

Two wineries, seven wine samples

Visit two wineries in Chianti to learn about the wine production process and taste the region’s wines where they are made. Each stop includes three or four different wines, with seven samples across the tour. That variety gives you more than a single introduction to Chianti: you can taste several wines during the same outing. Local products accompany the tastings, bringing regional produce into the experience alongside the wine. The winery visits combine learning and tasting, rather than focusing on the glass alone.

A guided return trip from Florence

The excursion lasts approximately five hours and 30 minutes and includes roundtrip transport in an air-conditioned vehicle. A driver/guide accompanies the tour, with live guiding in English. Transport, winery visits and tastings form part of the same excursion, so the journey into Chianti and back to Florence is included rather than left for you to arrange independently.

Where to arrive and how to present your ticket

The tour starts at Piazzale Montelungo in Florence. Arrive 20 minutes before departure; this advance arrival time is separate from the stated excursion duration, so allow for it when planning your morning or afternoon. Tickets are delivered instantly, and smartphone tickets are accepted. You can present the ticket on your phone at the start of the tour.

What falls outside the tasting

The included food and drink are the wine tastings paired with local products. Extra food and drinks are not included. An audio guide is also excluded; the guided element of this excursion is the English-speaking driver/guide.
