Getting around Chianti by public transport is frustrating and time-consuming. With this private tour, cover more ground and visit two towns and two wineries in a single day. Begin with hotel pickup and free time in Siena before a scenic drive through the Chianti hills to a winery for a tour and tasting lunch. Afterwards, take a stroll through Monteriggioni and end with a final wine tasting and return transfer.

Spend a day in the iconic landscape of the "Chianti Hills", among avenues of cypresses, vineyards, sunflowers and medieval villages. Visit the historic village of Castellina in Chianti, taste homemade pasta and the best Chianti wines of the Tuscan countryside in two typical Tuscan farmhouses. ITINERARY: • In the morning meet your driver at your hotel or in another chosen place (B&B or private flat) • We will drive through the rolling hills of Chianti, among olive groves, cypresses and vineyards. • We will visit the mediaval village of Castellina in Chianti and the historic center. • For lunch we will move to a real Tuscan farm, to understand the secrets of wine production and enjoy a lunch with typical Tuscan foods and 5 tastings of local wines. • On the way back we will do a second wine tasting stop, in a small local winery, which produces its wine the old way. Take a look: What to expect

Tuscany is one of the most beautiful areas in Italy, with lots of spots to take magical photographs. I will create magical memories through the photos for you to keep forever. Exploring the famous and hidden gems together will be great!

If we talk about Tuscany, we cannot ignore the culture linked to tradition and history: the proposed activity is one of a kind, and interesting, since it allows access to a symbolic place of the valley that would otherwise not be possible to visit. Podere degli Olmi is the only original Leopoldina house that can be visited, and since it is private, access is only possible through this experience. The guide will be the descendant of one of the oldest noble families, who will tell you every detail of the Valdichiana and its traditions. You will take a leap back a few centuries, and it will be interesting to be in the presence of objects and walls full of history and years. The visit will end with a tasting of typical products linked to the territory, the history and cultivation of which will be illustrated to you, so that you can spend an evening learning about the secrets and nature of the territory that hosts you: the Valdichiana.
