This is my basic wine tasting in Tuscany tour and it’s ideal for those who would prefer to spend a little less. Its also a great choice if you only have a casual interest in wine, but would still like to enjoy the countryside of Tuscany. For four or more participants, the price point is similar to that for group tours. But why do a group tour when you can have the luxury of a vehicle and guide all to yourselves? We visit two wineries and we enjoy a counter tasting at one and a seated tasting at the other. There will not be cellar tours. A two course Tuscan light lunch is also included. The rest of the day focuses on the gorgeous Tuscan countryside with multiple stops for your holiday photos. Last but not least, all will be done at a leisurely pace.

The countryside of Tuscany and Chianti is one of the world’s most beautiful rural areas. Wherever you cast your eyes, vineyards, olive orchards and Cyprus trees are blended into the surrounding woodland with outstanding aesthetic taste. I’ll explain the countryside from an agricultural and historic point of view, and give you insights on the culture and wine of the region. We’ll make numerous stops for snapshots, (the photos on the right are from this tour), and of course taste highly rated Chianti and Super Tuscan wines. We’ll visit two estates; one is a small family concern, and the the other a larger corporate winery.

We depart directly from our hotel and head for the gorgeous Chianti landscapes , where a photographic feast awaits us. The whole morning will be dedicated to a leisurely drive enjoying the scenery. I know all the best locations, and we’ll make numerous stops for photos.
A Tuscan light lunch at one of my favorite restaurants is included in the fee. It will comprise of a Platter of Tuscan cold cuts and/or bruschetta with seasonal toppings, plus a pasta or rice dish with a glass of house wine.
After lunch we head for our afternoon of wine tasting in Tuscany. The first is a larger estate where we’ll taste various vintages of Chianti plus a Super Tuscan. The tasting will be at the counter, but in a relaxed and amiable atmosphere.
The second winery is very much a micro winery, in fact it’s one of the smallest in the area and it’s run by a husband and wife team. Here you’ll have your own table for a seated tasting and individual attention The wines will be mainly Chianti, and Super Tuscans, but on occasions a white is also available. wines.
Our day comes to an end after the second wine tasting and we head back to your accommodation, arriving at about 04.15pm.

I often get asked for advice on accommodation. As I’m not a travel agency and I have little to do with hotels and B&B’s, I suggest you look up the Chianti Travel Guide where there is lots of very usefull info
