Florence: Wine Tastings + Minivan Tour

About this experience

About Florence: Wine Tastings + Minivan Tour Florence: Wine Tastings + Minivan Tour is a guided minivan excursion from Florence into the Chianti wine region, visiting two selected wineries over approximately five hours. The tour departs from Piazza dei Cavalleggeri and travels through the rolling countryside south of the city, where Sangiovese grapes have been cultivated for centuries. Chianti Classico, produced within the historic zone between Florence and Siena, holds DOCG status and remains one of Italy's most recognised red wine designations. Across the two winery visits, the host leads guests through a tasting of nine wines drawn from Chianti Classico and Riserva selections. Each tasting is accompanied by food made from locally sourced products, and a dinner option is available at the time of booking for those who want a fuller meal at one of the estates. What to expect The minivan is air-conditioned and collects guests centrally, making the logistics straightforward. At each winery, the host walks through the wines being poured during the visit, covering the differences between a standard Chianti Classico and a Riserva, which by regulation requires longer ageing. The food pairings are designed to complement the tannin structure of the wines rather than simply accompany them. Bottles from the estates can be purchased directly on site. The ticket covers transport, both winery visits, the tasting of nine wines served during the experience, and the food accompaniments, with dinner included if that option is selected at checkout.
