CHIANTI WINE TOUR Panzano in Chianti-Greve in Chianti-Radda in Chianti-Gaiole in Chianti-Castellina in Chianti

Your driver will come and pick you up at your hotel, villa or residence hotel and will accompany you in this experience.
The wine tours in the Chianti area -like those in the Brunello area- comprise a tour of 2-3 wine estates and 1 or 2 towns among Greve in Chianti, Radda in Chianti, Panzano in Chianti, Gaiole in Chianti, Castellina in Chianti and Montefioralle.
We advise seeing no more than 2 estates and perhaps have a light lunch at a third one.
Itinerary:
Departure from your hotel. Tour of the first estate where you go round the property, cellars and taste the wine, all with an explanation in your language. An estate worker will explain how the wine is produced, from harvest to bottling. Lastly, you will taste the wine they have told you about during the tour.
The second stop is a tour of Greve or Radda or Gaiole, depending on the itinerary and what you are interested in. Probably you do not intend to see any town but only the local wine estates. If so, we go straight to the second wine estate, where we advise you to let us book you a light lunch so that you can taste their wine during a meal, clearly not before having seen the cellar and the property with a worker who will guide you through the tour.
The third stop is the last wine cellar. Clearly we shall try to organise 3 types of estates, where possible. At the end of the day, you will probably be happy to have a driver to take you from one place to another and then home.
Maybe you would not be able to drive… that’s why we are here.
In the Chianti area, there are hundreds of wine cellars organised by the Gallo Nero Consortium. This is an association that controls various producers to make sure they comply with all the rules to be able to give their wine the coveted DOCG label. Here are some of the estates selected in the Chianti area: Castello di Verrazzano, Castello di Brolio (Conte Ricasoli), Castello di Meleto, Castello di Vignamaggio, Castello il Palagio , Fattoria di Monterinaldi, Castello Oliveto, etc.
Also in the Chianti area we can propose cheese tasting c/o Fattoria Corzano e Paterno in Montespertoli and Massanera in San Casciano.
The Chianti area is divided between Siena and Florence, but besides Chianti we have the possibility to tour the estates of Val di Sieve or Chianti Rufina like the Frescobaldi estates, see Castello di Nipozzano, Selvapiana, Pezzatino, Grati, Colognole.
