This activity will end right where it started.
Meet your guide in central Florence and hop aboard an air-conditioned, 4x4 minibus. Watch the city streets transform into the rolling hillside of Chianti, lined with vineyards and olive groves.

Your first stop of the day is at a winery belonging to one of the most prominent Italian families. Taste wines paired with cheese and olive oils, and enjoy a guided tour of the historic wine cellars. Travel to the olive mill through the villa's underground tunnels, as well as to the garden.

Afterward, head to a Tuscan restaurant and settle in for a 3-course meal, including regional specialties such as different types of fresh pasta and glasses of fine Chianti wine. (See the Itinerary for a sample menu).

Continue to a small, award-winning winery that specializes in Chianti Classico wine. Hear about the winemaking process while sipping and swirling delicious varietals.

Enjoy the last of your afternoon in the charming town of Greve-in-Chianti, where the Chianti Classico wine festival is held each year. Pick up a selection of typical salumi (cured meats) from one of Italy’s most famous butchers, before heading back to Florence.

Alex was a fantastic guide, he combined humour and knowledge to make the day extremely enjoyable. The tour and venues chosen in the Chianti region were each great for food, drink and views. Couldn't recommend highly enough and will definitely be doing another Walkabout tour!

Excellent tour! Alex was a funny and knowledgeable guide. The three wineries we went to were all unique in their own way and we got to try some excellent wines. The lunch was delicious and the view breathtaking. A long day but completely worth it to get out of the city and see (and taste!) Chianti!

A wonderful experience of wine and oil tasting. Our tour guide Alex was very knowledgeable, interesting, funny and pleasant to be around. He made everyone comfortable and was very patient to answer all the questions we had. Food and wine was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The views of vineyards were breathtaking. We also loved the transporting vehicle and our driver who made us feel safe. Thank you for this lovely and totally relaxing day in Tuscany. Can’t wait to be back soon.

Our guide, Alex, was amazing! He was informative, gave us great commentary, didn't rush us and really made the day amazing. Our tours of the wineries, lunch, time to roam in Greve, all made it a magical day. One of the best we had in our week in Florence!

Highlight of our trip!

We visited three wineries. The food and wine was outstanding. Our driver did a great job navigating the curves and right roads to take us up and into the countryside. Alex our host for the entire trip was informative and had a great personality. My wife and I loved it. We also made friends within our group.

This was easily the best thing we did on our trip to Italy. Not just amazing wine but so much learning about Tuscan wine making and Tuscany in general. Martina was so warm, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. Cannot recommend enough.
