What to expect

In the afternoon, meet your English-speaking driver in front of the National Library( piazza Cavalleggeri, 1) and board a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan for the trip to the Chianti region. Experience for yourself what makes Chianti one of the world’s most magnificent landscapes on this 4-hour journey of discovery. Reach the heart of the Chianti region along the panoramic route 222 - the Via Chiantigiana - that winds through this stunning scenery characterized by vineyards, cypress trees, and golden hilltop villages. Each vista seems more beautiful than the last, with a glorious view around every bend. Stop first in the town of Greve in Chianti, where you’ll have 20 minutes to enjoy a short stroll through this village famous for its picturesque square. Browse in the shops selling excellent Tuscan products. You’ll have the chance to stop for pictures before reaching the wine estate in the lovely little village of Montefioralle. Next, stop at a wine-producing farm for a visit to their cellars. Participate in a tasting of 4 wines along with bruschetta and cheese (about 45 minutes) while you enjoy this part of the world at the golden hour of sunset - when the sunlight mellows, touching the leaves and grapes of the vineyards with a golden hue and softening the hills, trees and towns so they resemble a beautiful painting. On the way back to Florence, stop for photos in the lovely little village of Badia a Passignano, where your driver will give you a little history of the location.
