If your curious to find out what a typical Tuscan home cooked meal is like, this is the tour for you. While tasting the wines of one of the smallest family wineries in Tuscany, we’ll also be treated to genuine Tuscan home cooking. Our lunch venue is the last estate in Chianti that still raises animals and grows their own vegetables. This will be one of the freshest farm to table meals you’ve ever had. Your four course lunch will be prepared by the lady of the house, who isn’t a chef, “just” a great cook in the homely sense of the term. As an added bonus each course will be accompanied by a glass of the farm’s excellent Chianti wines. I’m sure this will be one of the best meals of your Italian holiday.
We also visit two other wineries, both of which are on my Wine Lover’s Tour where we’ll enjoy guided tours of the cellars, and a seated tasting of Chianti and Super Tuscan wines.
Family wineries in Tuscany farm to table tour
Our tour starts directly from your accommodation and we head for the gorgeous Tuscan countryside. The drive is leisurely and we’ll make a number of stops for photos. I’ve carefully chosen the itinerary, to give you the best scenery Chianti has to offer. We travel off the beaten path through the heart of the Chianti hills, where vineyards, olive orchards and woodland provide one of the most iconic regions of the world.
Late morning we arrive at our first winery which is the first of our small family estates. Your tour of the old cellars is followed by a seated tasting of Chianti wines based on the Sangiovese grape, and well as Super Tuscans based on Merlot and Cabernet. Chianti has changed greatly over the last thirty years, smoother and more refined it regularly obtains high scores from international reviewers, while maintaining its moderate acidic character for excellent pairing with hearty food.
We leave our first winery around 12:30, and take another drive through the gorgeous Tuscan countryside arriving at our lunch venue around 01:00.
Your Tuscan Farm to Table Lunch
This is one of the smallest wineries in the Chianti region, and where time has stood still. It was common until the 1950s for estates to farm 360°, growing vegetables, fruit and raising animals. This is no longer done, with the exception of this one delightful little place.
Everything is produced on the estate, and it’s rigorously home cooking…even the bread and pasta are home made. You’ll be enjoying an ample four course meal, so I suggest you postpone any diet till tomorrow. Of course each serving will be paired with a tasting of the estate’s Chianti, Chianti Reserve wines. Last but not least, the surroundings are gorgeous and everything you expect from Tuscany.
After lunch we’ll go for a second wine tasting and visit another very small family winery. In fact it’s one of the smallest in the Chianti region, and it’s run entirely by a husband and wife team. Again it’s a sit down tasting and you’ll enjoy personalized attention, trying their Chianti, and Super Tuscan wines.
Our Farm to table Family wineries in Tuscany tour ends here, and we set off on a relaxed return journey where you can sleep off the pleasures of the day. Drop off at your accommodation will be around 05:30pm.
Duration: approx. eight hours door to door.
