From Florence: Small-Group Tuscany Wine & Oil Tour with typical Tuscan Meal
Your wine tasting tour will begin with pickup in central Florence. Settle into your seat for the drive to the famous wine region of Chianti, and watch the landscape transform from the bustling city streets of Florence to rolling vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees. Upon arriving, make your way to two to three wineries to sample the best blends of the region. Learn how the Canaiolo and Sangiovese grapes are grown and sip to discover the varying characteristics of each blend. You’ll also have a chance to try a Chianti Classico, a regional favorite made from grapes grown between Florence and Siena. Taste several Chianti wines at both cellars, along with top-quality Tuscan olive oils. Afterward, pause for lunch at a nearby cooking school, indulging in a typical Tuscan lunch. Sample more Italian wines while you eat, as drinks are also included with your meal. Upgrade to a small-group tour that includes Supertuscan wines.
