Chianti castles private tour with an Italian Count

Step into a world of elegance, history, and fine wine with this unique experience designed by Artviva, Florence’s leading boutique tour company with more than 20 years of expertise in luxury cultural travel. 

This exclusive tour combines the majesty of Chianti’s medieval castles with the personal hospitality of a noble host, offering travelers a day that blends heritage, culture, and indulgence. Your journey begins with private transportation from Florence into the heart of the Chianti Classico region, a landscape of rolling vineyards, olive groves, and hilltop villages. Along the way, your expert guide and host, an Italian Count whose family history is intertwined with Tuscany’s noble past, will share fascinating insights into the region’s legacy of power, politics, and artistry. You’ll visit historical castles and noble estates, many of which are still privately owned and rarely open to the public. Walk through ancient courtyards, explore frescoed halls, and admire fortified towers that once stood as symbols of power in the rivalries between Florence and Siena. Each castle carries centuries of stories, from medieval battles to Renaissance splendor. 

Of course, no visit to Chianti is complete without experiencing its renowned wines. During the Chianti Castles Tour with an Italian Count you’ll enjoy an exclusive wine tasting in a prestigious estate, sampling robust Chianti Classico vintages and other Tuscan reds, guided by passionate winemakers. A traditional Tuscan lunch will be served, featuring fresh, seasonal dishes paired with wines from the estate’s own vineyards. This experience is not only a feast for the senses but also a cultural immersion. By traveling with a Count, you’ll gain access to stories, traditions, and perspectives rarely shared with the public. It’s an intimate opportunity to discover Tuscany’s noble heritage while savoring the very best of its culinary and wine culture.
