Get to know the world-famous SuperTuscan wines
Tuscany is one of the best-known regions in the world for its production of top-quality wine, and SuperTuscan wines are quintessentially Tuscan. Whether you are a wine expert or a novice, don't worry, this Supertuscan tour is the perfect opportunity to discover the history and production techniques of a new wine classic. The journey will begin when you meet your dedicated driver in the center of Florence and board a comfortable minivan. You will move away from the traffic and chaos of the city and into the green hills surrounding the city. You will immerse yourself in the Florentine countryside with its hills as far as the eye can see, olive groves, vineyards and medieval villages perched on hilltops. The colors, the panorama, everything will contribute to a sense of well-being and relaxation. You will then reach the sweet Chianti hills where some of the best wines in the world are made thanks to the wonderful climate and rich soil. During your tour of the region, you will discover Supertuscans, which can be made from any variety of grapes, whether blended or pure. These splendid wines are often the hallmark of the producer and are so prized that it is difficult to find them from previous years. Tasting them then is truly a privilege reserved for the few.
Visit three wineries in the hills around Florence
Your tour includes stops at no less than three wineries, all of which have been leaders in the wine industry for decades. The first two are historic wineries and you will explore the cellars and taste their wines accompanied by an expert sommelier who will tell you everything you want to know about their production: from harvest to distribution. You will discover how to distinguish the acidity and bouquet of aromas, scents and flavors of the different grapes. Don't be shy, this is the perfect time to expose all your curiosities or questions.
Visit a Tuscan boutique winery and enjoy a traditional meal
Tasting wines in Florence all day is great, but it is wise to do it on a full stomach. Luckily, we have thought of that too! One of the wineries you will visit on this Chianti itinerary will host you in its exclusive gourmet restaurant. There you will be treated to a traditional Tuscan lunch with local specialties served with expertly selected wines. As this is a private tour, you will enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and an intimate setting that guarantees the best possible experience for wine lovers!
