Chianti Wine Tour
Informations
Our wine tours in Chianti starts from Florence and, according to the season and small wineries availabilities, may bring you to discover different sub-areas of Chianti: Chianti Classico is the most famous, but we have also selected hidden gems in Chianti Rufina and Chianti Colli Fiorentini or Senesi, so that you can appreciate the differences in the same kind of wine, produced mainly using Sangiovese grapes.
The Chianti wine tour has two option: full or half day. In the first version you will have more hours to spend with us and to meet two wine makers, organic or biodynamic. We also have the time to visit at least two Tuscan historical cities or village.
The half-day version includes a visit to a single producer and usually does not allow us to visit more than one country. Both include Tuscan lunch and wine tasting (the full day version two wine tastings). In case you are interested in the half-day version, please contact us at tours@de-gustibus.it.

5 hours tour
Half Day
From Florence we drive along Chianti to get to Greve in Chianti, the capital of Chianti Classico area, where we enjoy a coffee break and you can visit the Falorni butcher-museum. After that we move to the boutique winery.
Here you will meet the wine maker (and his/her family!) and have the chance to taste his/her wines, visit the wine cellar, have a walk in the vineyards to leran a bit of the know something about the techniques of wine production.
The wine tasting is accompanied by a Tuscan lunch where normally you will also taste extra virgin olive oil, Tuscan ham and salami, organic vegetables, pasta and a Tuscan traditional dessert.
During the wine tasting you can try the Chianti and Chianti Riserva DOCG wines and often IGT or Super Tuscans ones. Some wine makers also produce rosè, sparkling or white wines (the old, traditional Chianti was made also with 2 white grapes: Trebbiano and Malvasia...) and all of them have different approaches to wine making, but all working in organic or biodynamic way.
We have selected them in last 12 years and we do not hide that they are producers where we buy the wine we drink at home every day or for special occasions. We have no economic return from the eventual sale of their bottles, but for us today they have become friends as well as suppliers, which is why we want to let you know them.
If you share this philosophy, we are waiting for you!

Kids from 0 to 5 years FREE, young from 6 to 12: 50% discount on adult price.
