Chianti Region: Day Trip from Florence + Off-Road Tuscany Wine Tour

About this experience

About Chianti Region: Day Trip from Florence + Off-Road Tuscany Wine Tour This is a full-day guided wine and off-road tour through the Chianti region, departing from Florence and covering historic estates, underground cellars, and rolling Tuscan countryside over approximately nine hours. The itinerary combines a structured winery visit at an aristocratic estate, off-road driving through ancient woodland, a traditional Tuscan lunch, and a final vineyard stop, with nine wine tastings included across the day. The first stop is a winery belonging to one of Italy's long-established aristocratic families, where a guided tour takes in the historic cellars and an olive mill reached via underground tunnels beneath the villa. Three wines are paired with salumi and cured meats at this stop, setting the tone for the rest of the day. What to expect After the cellar tour, the group boards a vehicle for off-road driving through woodland and hills toward Rignana, a Tuscan restaurant and working winery. Lunch here includes red wine and a blind olive oil tasting. The afternoon continues with a drive through open countryside to a final estate for additional wine and olive oil tastings. Across the full day, included tastings cover nine wines, extra virgin olive oil, sheep's cheese, and salumi. Booking covers roundtrip transport from Piazza dei Cavalleggeri in Florence, all tastings listed above, and the traditional Tuscan lunch. Note that vegetarian and other dietary requirements cannot be accommodated on this tour. Wine Tours from Florence and getting there Departures are organised through Wine Tours from Florence, with the meeting point at Piazza dei Cavalleggeri, a square on the north bank of the Arno close to the Santa Croce district and well connected by city bus routes. The Chianti Classico zone, which forms the backbone of this route, lies between Florence and Siena and has produced DOCG-classified wines since the 1990s, with estates ranging from medieval farmhouses to working Renaissance villas.
