Additional Information & Description
The Malenchini estate brings together Chianti wine, a Medici villa and a Tuscan lunch in a two-hour visit. This wine tour focuses on one estate, giving you time to explore its outdoor spaces and cellars before sitting down to regional food and wine.
Explore the Medici Villa of Lilliano
A guided tour takes you through the Medici Villa of Lilliano, with the estate’s outdoor spaces forming part of the visit. The villa gives the experience a focus beyond the tasting table: you explore the property as well as sample its wines. A guided tour of the estate’s cellars is also included, bringing another part of Malenchini into the itinerary. Live guides are available in English and Italian.
Taste four organic wines
The tasting includes four organic wines, making wine a substantial part of the visit rather than simply an accompaniment to lunch. It is a chance to taste several wines within the setting of the estate, with a dedicated tasting room that has air-conditioning. Together with the cellar tour, this gives the visit two distinct wine-focused elements: time inside the cellars and time at the tasting table.
Sit down to a Tuscan light lunch
Lunch follows the estate visit and takes the form of a traditional Tuscan light meal. Local charcuterie and cheeses begin the menu, followed by a classic Tuscan first course. Three wines are paired with the food, linking the tasting experience to the region’s gastronomic specialties. The meal finishes with Chianti DOC Vinsanto and Prato biscuits—a specific Tuscan pairing that gives the lunch a defined final course. This is a seated food-and-wine element of the visit, not just a tasting with a small snack.
