Your knowledgeable English speaking driver, will discuss with you all the different options of the chosen itinerary, so you will be able to customize your day, to perfectly suit your needs and focus just on the attractions/activities you are interested in. Start your day with a relaxing visit of Greve in Chianti to learn about the country lifestyle, admire the beauties of the Chianti wine road and see postcard views, discover the secrets of the Chianti red wine, taste genuine products, and conclude your experience with a visit of Siena, Tuscany's second most important art city.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Greve in Chianti
After having met your driver at your accommodation in Florence, during the 45 minutes drive to reach Greve in Chianti, (the most famous village of the Chianti Classico countryside), he will explain all the details of your day, to be sure the schedule fits your needs. Once in Greve in Chianti, the birthplace of the famous Tuscan explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, the Tuscan who discovered the New York Harbor, admire the Piazza Matteotti, a gently sloping square which is the hub of life in Greve; visit the many local shops and wine stores, including the famous butcher shop Falorni, or the Enoteca Le Cantine (one of the biggest wine shop in Tuscany)
2. Chianti Road
After the visit of Greve in Chianti depart for a 30 minutes drive through one of the most beautiful wine road in Italy, full of rolling hills, huge vineyards and olive trees, typical of the Chianti Classico area.
3. Panzano in Chianti
On the way to the winery admire the charming Tuscan hilltop village of Panzano in Chianti, located exactly halfway between Florence and Siena, with the curch of Santa Maria Assunta and the imposing Tower of the Castle.
4. Fattoria di Montecchio
Your experience at the winery will start with an introduction about the history of the estate, followed by the visit of the old wine cellars with the explanations about the wine making process, and all the secrets to produce the Chianti red wine and the Tuscan olive oil, famous all over the world. After the visit, take a seat and taste different wines (Chianti Classico, Riserva, Super Tuscans, etc.) and the olive oil, one of the most important ingredients of the italian cooking.
5. Casa Emma
As an alternative, in case Fattoria Montecchio is not available for your date, the visit followed by the wine tasting will be made at Casa Emma, another hill top winery located in the same area (the earth of the Chianti Classico countryside).
6. San Donato in Poggio
For food lovers, just 5 minutes away from the wineries, there is a family owned restaurant called La Locanda di Pietracupa, where you can taste one of the best and most genuine food of Tuscany, paired with a great selection of local wines. This is just an option in case you like to have a lunch at a restaurant; obviously being lunch at your own expenses, you are free to decide where to go, or skip the restaurant and eat something faster in Siena.
7. Siena
In Siena your driver will bring you directly in Piazza del Duomo, and will drop you off right in front of the magnificent Cathedral with its bell tower; after the visit of the square, where you can also admire the Santa Maria della Scala museum and the Palazzo Arcivescovile, with an easy 5 minutes walking you will reach one of the most famous squares in Italy, Piazza del Campo, a brick-paved square where the famous Palio horserace (the most important event of Siena) is held, twice a year. Here you can also see the imposing Town Hall with its Mangia Tower, the Cappella di Piazza, the Gaia Fountain, and all the beautiful palaces surrounding the square.
8. Florence
Conclude your experience with a relaxing one hour drive back to your accommodation in Florence, after a day full of memories about the real essence of Tuscany

Wonderful experience. Elena was extremely helpful in arranging a tour at such a short notice. We got in touch with her at 1900 hrs and she arranged for a tour at 0900 next morning.

Alessandro was a gem of person. He was full of anecdotal stories about Tuscan region. Experiencing Tuscany with him, doubled up on the charm of this beautiful country side.

Lorenzo and Alessio were the absolute best!!!! We had out 9 year old and our 20 year old daughters with my wife and I. They were accommodating and everything was wonderful. Do NOT miss this trip if you are visiting Tuscany. Also you MUST request Lorenzo and Alessio. I’m sure you will not regret this experience.

I had an excellent day with the guide Lorenzo and the driver Tony. The tour is very will thought, just the perfect balance between information, relax time and “discover by yourself”.
Siena is about 1:10 from Florence by bus, on the way the guide told us interesting information about the tour. Then we made a sight seen in Siena city, till noon, and then the wine tasting and lunch. On the afternoon we visited San Giminiano, a cute little medieval town.
The only downside on my opinion was the bus drive, because me and a few members of my family got travel sickness.

We had visits lined up at Mazzei and Volpaia wineries and totally dropped the ball on making transportation arrangements enough in advance…
Prestige rent and their amazing driver Alex saved the day
We were picked up exactly on time in a pristine vehicle by Alex, two winery visits and amazing lunch ( their suggestion ) and then safely back to Florence despite the heavy rain
Highly recommend and would use again
