Private wine tour of three Chianti wineries with lunch Included
Three family wineries, a Tuscan lunch and tastings of Chianti, Vernaccia and Super Tuscan
Your driver picks you up at your accommodation (hotel, B&B or apartment) and takes you along the famous Via Chiantigiana, through rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves and cypress-lined roads, with stops for postcard-worthy photos.
Winery 1, Chianti Classico area: a historic family-run winery producing Chianti since 1926. After a short introduction to winemaking, enjoy a guided tasting of Chianti Classico, Chianti Classico Riserva, Super Tuscan, 100% Sangiovese and Vernaccia.
Winery 2: an organic family-run winery where you enjoy a traditional Tuscan lunch with homemade pasta, bruschetta, pecorino cheese and extra virgin olive oil, paired with Tuscan wines such as Chianti Colli Senesi, Tuscan reds and rosé.
Winery 3, Chianti Classico area: cellar visit and a final comparison tasting of about 5 wines, including Vernaccia and Tuscan whites, Super Tuscan and Chianti Classico Black Rooster. This last tasting helps you understand how terroir (soil, altitude, sun exposure) and winemaking choices can make the same grape taste very different from one winery to another.
Three different winemakers show you their cellars and vineyards and explain the differences between red and white wine production and the rules of DOCG wines. About 20 glasses in total.
By the end of the day you will better recognize Tuscan wine styles and choose the best pairings, after experiencing the authentic lifestyle of the Chianti countryside. Wine selection may vary by season and availability.
