Private hiking tour in the Tuscan region of Chianti with typical local picnic

Get acquainted with the beautiful Chianti countryside on a tour where you’ll hike through the hills with stops at olive oil mills and wineries. Spend some time relaxing as you enjoy a tasty picnic before you round off with a typical Tuscan meal.

Swap Florence for the beautiful Chianti hills

You wouldn’t think that you could be in the peaceful countryside by travelling just twenty minutes from the centre of Florence. However, that’s exactly how long it’ll take for you to be shuttled out of the historic centre and into some of the world’s most beautiful hill country. The trail will start by heading towards an olive oil mill on an ancient noble estate. Here you’ll enjoy a guided tour of the mill, learn about the process of producing olive oil, and of course you’ll get to taste some too!

Marvel at nature in Italy’s most beautiful region

On leaving the olive oil mill, your friendly environmental guide will take you to an area characterised by the continuous alternation of valleys and gentle hills dotted with vines and olives. There are also harsh peaks covered in oak, chestnut, cypress and pine woodlands. There’ll be lots of photo opportunities along the way so you’ll never forget the amazing views, as well as lots of information about the history of this spectacular territory.

Enjoy a picnic and round off the day with a typical Tuscan lunch

Under the shade of ancient trees, you’ll have a break where you can rest and enjoy a delicious picnic before reaching the final destination. That’s a boutique winery, where you’ll visit the cellar and learn more about the wine-making process. Not only that, you’ll get to taste the elegant wines on offer accompanied by a typical Tuscan lunch. An unforgettable day in the Chianti Hills waits!
