If you’ve done a big commercial winery tour in Tuscany, you probably remember the steel tanks, the quick pour, and the gift shop at the end. Our guests often tell us that’s exactly why they came looking for something else. On our Chianti wine tour from Florence, the day runs through three small, family-owned wineries in the Chianti Classico area, where the person pouring your glass is usually the person who made it.

At the second stop, the winemaker’s grandmother cooks lunch while the grandfather explains the land the vines grow on. This guide walks through how the day unfolds, what you’ll taste, and the practical details to plan around, from leaving Florence to what happens when it rains.
