Full description

Wine lovers, this trip into Tuscany from Florence is designed just for you. You’ll leave the city behind and head to the Chianti region, known around the world for its red wines. 

You’ll be picked up from the meeting point in Florence and driven to Tuscany and the Chianti region. Your first stop is the Medieval village of Greve. Then, you’ll head to Montefioralle, which has been perfectly preserved since the 12th century. Chianti Classico, one of the most iconic Italian red wines, has a black rooster on its label – you’ll hear the backstory for this during your time in Montefioralle.

From here, you’ll head to a family-run wine estate for lunch and a wine-tasting session. The cellars have been around since Medieval times, and they use oak barrels to do a lot of their aging. You can expect Italian classics prepped with ingredients grown on the property. You’ll have three different Chiantis to sample. This region is also known for its olive oil, so you can try some of that, too.

The tour was very interesting and informative. It was good to learn about the history of the palace. We took the tour that included the shuttle bus. This was a life saver in the heat as there is 2 hours of walking through the palace itself before getting to go through the gardens. Our guide was fabulous! Thank you

il tempo messo a disposizione di 1 ora è troppo poco. per visitare bene la cattedrale e spiegare il resto sarebbero necessarie 1,5/2 ore. Tutto molto bello. affreschi campo Santo superlativi. L,'eco ogni mezz'ora nel tabernacolo emozionante
