Typical itinerary flow

1) Depart Florence and head into Chianti

You’ll leave the busy centre behind and travel through Tuscan countryside while your guide shares context about Chianti’s long winemaking history.
The drive itself is part of the experience—expect postcard scenery rather than “fast transport.”

2) First winery: cellar visit + Chianti tasting

The tour includes a stop at a family-run boutique winery where you’ll explore the cellars and taste a selection of Chianti wines.
This is usually your “foundation” tasting—understanding what you’re drinking and why Chianti tastes the way it does.

3) Medieval village stop: slow walk + viewpoints

Next is a charming medieval village—stone houses, cobbled lanes, and wide views. This is your break from structured tasting
time: stretch your legs, take photos, and enjoy that timeless Tuscan atmosphere.

4) Second winery: food tasting paired with estate wines

At the second winery, tastings lean into “local table” style: bread with olive oil, cured meats, and cheeses paired with the winery’s wines.
This is often the most social part of the tour—easy, relaxed, and very Tuscan.

5) Finish at Piazzale Michelangelo

The tour ends at Piazzale Michelangelo, one of Florence’s most famous lookouts—ideal for those final photos where the Duomo and city rooftops
sit in a single frame.

Realistic pacing tip

This is a half-day experience, so it moves efficiently. If you want deep, unhurried winery time, you’ll usually prefer a full-day Chianti tour.
If you want a high-value Tuscan snapshot that still leaves you an evening in Florence, this format is ideal.
