Description

Leave behind the busy streets of Florence and let yourself be carried into the rolling heart of Tuscany on this SMART Chianti Tour — the essence of wine country distilled into a magical half-day. As you settle into a comfortable luxury minivan, the city fades and the landscape begins to change. The road winds through vineyards glowing in the afternoon light, past silver-green olive groves and rows of cypress trees. Your escort brings the scene to life with tales of Chianti wines, centuries-old traditions, and the people who craft them. Your first stop is a family-run boutique winery. The air is cool inside the cellars, filled with the fragrance of oak barrels and fermenting grapes. Glass in hand, you’ll taste a flight of Chianti wines — each sip revealing notes of ripe cherries, earthy spice, and the warmth of the Tuscan sun, guided by the passionate stories of your hosts. The journey then takes you to a medieval village, where time seems to stand still. Stroll along cobbled lanes, admire stone houses draped with flowers, and capture postcard-perfect views of the hills stretching endlessly around you. At the second winery, the highlight of your afternoon awaits: a Tuscan Tuscan Food Tasting crafted from seasonal ingredients. Picture rustic bread drizzled with peppery olive oil and slices of cured meats and cheeses — paired with the estate’s wines, chosen to enhance every flavor. Around the table, the atmosphere is warm, convivial, and authentically Tuscan. As twilight approaches, your tour concludes with a stop at Piazzale Michelangelo. Depending on the season, Florence may glow golden in the last light of day or sparkle in its first evening hues. The view stretches across the rooftops, domes, and towers of the city — a breathtaking panorama and the perfect memory to end your Chianti journey.
