Florence: Chianti Wine Tour with Tasting & Tuscan Lunch

About this experience

About Florence: Chianti Wine Tour with Tasting & Tuscan Lunch This is a half-day guided visit to the Medici Villa of Lilliano, a historic estate in the Chianti hills outside Florence. The tour combines a guided cellar tour with an organic wine tasting and a traditional Tuscan lunch served on site. The estate sits within the Chianti Classico zone, one of Italy's oldest designated wine regions, and the villa carries Medici-era heritage that gives the property its architectural and historical character. During the visit, the host guides guests through the estate's winemaking facilities and barrel ageing areas, then leads a tasting of four organic wines produced on the estate. The tasting concludes with a serving of Chianti DOC Vinsanto alongside Prato biscuits, the classic Tuscan pairing. The tasting room is air-conditioned for comfort. What to expect Guests meet at 82 Via Lilliano e Meoli and are guided through the outdoor grounds of the Medici Villa of Lilliano before descending into the estate's cellars. The guide explains the production process from vine to bottle throughout the cellar tour. The wine tasting follows in the dedicated tasting room, where four organic wines are served in sequence by the host. Lunch is served in Tuscan style and includes local charcuterie, cheeses, a classic Tuscan first course, and the Vinsanto and biscuit pairing to close. The full programme runs approximately two hours. Tickets cover the guided villa tour, cellar tour, wine tasting, and lunch. Transport to the starting point is not included.
