After leaving central Florence by air-conditioned coach, journey into the beautiful Tuscan countryside with your guide. Travel past the olive groves, vineyards, and rolling hills of the "Via Chiantigiana," a scenic route through the picturesque Chianti.
Stop for the visit to a cozy organic production winery, where the owner guides you through local wine making secrets, and where you sample the house vino and local food products.
After a few hour at the winery, continue along the "Via Chiantigiana,” admiring the views of the Tuscan rolling hills, to a family-run winery in the Sienese Chianti Classico area. Walk through the vineyard with the winemaker, tour the cellars and aromatic garden, and taste at least four different wines and unique local food products—you can also purchase some to take home.
Travel along the Chianti Road back to Florence, where you’re dropped off at Piazzale Montelungo.
Please note that the order of the visits may change. And if you chose the cooking class option, you will skip the winery visits and learn to look local dishes to be paired with Tuscan wines.
