    From scenic countryside views and visits to wineries to tasting wine and local products, this tour encompasses the best of authentic Chianti experience. Start off from Florence to one of Tuscany's most beautiful regions that has an abundance of woods, vineyards, and olive groves. Romanesque parish churches, farmhouses, villas, and castles add to the beauty of an already enchanting landscape.

    Your first stop is a small, cozy winery in the very heart of Chianti Classico. The owner himself will guide you through the place and let you in on the secrets of winemaking. You will also sample some of the best wines produced, along with local products to enrich the taste. Move on towards the Greve, a charming medieval village known to be the birthplace of the famous navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano. Every year, this village plays host to the Chianti region's most important wine fair. Enjoy some free time here to explore the ancient market's main square, along with some local artisan shops.

    As you travel through the historical "Via Chiantigiana" and cross the Sienese Chianti Classico region, you will be able to see the stunningly beautiful hills Tuscany is so well-known for. Enjoy the scenic ride before you reach a family-run Winery, famous for the excellence of its wine. After a warm welcome from the winemaker, and a guided tour of the cellars and an aromatic garden, you will get to savor the taste of four different wines accompanied by delicious local products.

    The last stop for the day is Castellina, a lively and picturesque hilltop village that is dominated by an imposing fortress. Follow your guide as you discover the picturesque medieval covered street "Via delle Volte", a lovely historical center filled with charming houses, squares, and shops.
