VIP Semi-Private Super Tuscan Wine Tour with a Masterclass by a Wine Expert

About this experience

VIP Semi-Private Super Tuscan Wine Tour with a Masterclass by a Wine Expert Spend a day among the rolling hills of Chianti on this guided wine tour departing from Florence. Led by an expert sommelier, this semi-private experience visits three carefully selected wineries by comfortable Mercedes minivan, keeping group sizes small so every guest receives personalised attention throughout the day. Your sommelier guide begins your wine education at two renowned producers and one boutique vineyard, leading you through historic cellars filled with oak barrels and explaining the winemaking process from grape selection through to fermentation and ageing. At each stop, the host serves a tasting of Super Tuscan wines, the innovative blends that revolutionised Tuscany's wine scene and gained international acclaim despite initial scepticism in Italy. The final stop brings together a guided tasting with a gourmet lunch featuring fresh, local ingredients. Your sommelier selects complementary wines for each course, teaching you the art of Tuscan food and wine pairing whilst the host also serves a tasting of regional olive oils and local specialities.
