There is nothing like a day or two immersed in the stunning wine country of Tuscany where you will see incredible landscapes and visit amazing towns with two thousand year old histories.  During your tour you will savour the most famous products - the wine and olive oils - produced in Tuscan and you will enjoy the immense hospitality of the Tuscan people.

Our guide, Angela Saltafuori, who speaks Italian and English molto bene, will show you the great Chianti Classico wine district between Siena and Florence in style.

Half day tour -  2 PM - Pick up at your hotel, villa or apartment; 7-8 PM - Drop off at your accommodation

During the half day tour you will visit three wineries and a beautiful medieval castle.  You will learn a lot about the production of wine from harvest to shipment, but best of all you will enjoy tasting a selection of wines, Vin Santo and Grappa.  We'll also let you sample a selection of the best Tuscan olive oils.
 

1 day tour - 9 AM - Pick up at your hotel, villa or apartment; 6-7 PM - Drop off at your accommodation

During the morning we will visit a winery where we will enjoy a number of Tuscan wines, Vin Santo and Grappa, as well as a selection of fantastic Tuscan olive oils. Afterwards, we'll venture into Castellina in the Chianti wine district for lunch (not included in the price of the tour) and a stroll through the center of town where you can shop at local stores.  We'll visit two more wineries and cellars in the afternoon to learn about wine production, and of course to sample more great Tuscan wines.  Our last stop will be at a wonderful old medieval castle in the heart of Tuscany.
 

2 day tour - 9 AM - Pick up at your hotel, villa or apartment; 6-7 PM - Drop off at your accommodation

The first day of this two day tour is exactly the same as the "one day" tour.  On the second day you will visit another winery where you will be able to sample the famous Brunello di Montalcino wine, as well as a Rossi and an IGT Super Tuscan.  For lunch (not included in the price) we'll visit the historic and delightful town of Montalcino.  During the afternoon, we will visit another winery and its cellars and savour another great Brunello wine.  Our last stop will be at an abbey where we will hear vespers being chanted by Gregorian monks...a fabulous way to end the day.
