Rolling hills, cellar visits, 5+ wine tastings, and a designated driver. The answer is obvious — but here are the details.
Plan your Italy trip →A typical day tour: pickup from Florence (or Siena), drive through the Chianti hills (views alone are worth it), visit 2-3 wineries, taste 10-15 wines across the day, learn about Sangiovese and Tuscan winemaking, eat a vineyard lunch with local products (olive oil, pecorino, salumi), and return slightly tipsy and deeply happy. €80-180 per person depending on group size and winery quality.
Group (8-15 people, €80-120): Social, affordable, well-organized. You visit established wineries used to tourists. The guide handles everything. Good introduction to Tuscan wine.
Private (€200-400 for 2-4 people): You choose the wineries, set the pace, ask detailed questions, and visit smaller producers that don't accept bus tours. The winemaker might personally walk you through the cellar. If you care about wine beyond "red or white?", this is transformative.
Chianti Classico: The Sangiovese-based red that defines Tuscany. Ranges from €8 everyday bottles to €40 reserve wines.
Brunello di Montalcino: Tuscany's prestige wine. Powerful, age-worthy, expensive (€30-200+). If your tour visits Montalcino, you're in the premier league.
Super Tuscans: Bordeaux-blend rebels that broke Italian wine rules in the 1970s (Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Tignanello). Bolgheri coast or Chianti hills.
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano: Underrated Sangiovese from Montepulciano. Excellent quality, lower prices than Brunello.
