Chianti Wine Tasting With Discovery Guided Tours | Boat Tour | Food Tour

Chianti, a historic wine-producing region in the heart of Tuscany, offers more than just world-class vintages—it unfolds a landscape shaped by rolling hills, medieval villages, and centuries-old traditions. Discovery Guided Tours invites travelers to spend nine immersive hours traversing this iconic countryside. This private tour is tailored for wine and food enthusiasts who want to dive deeply into Tuscany’s viticultural culture without the hassle of planning logistics.

Starting from Livorno’s dock, guests are picked up in a luxury, air-conditioned vehicle with a knowledgeable local driver who serves as both guide and storyteller. The drive itself presents a dynamic landscape: golden fields, cypress-lined roads, and olive groves stretching toward fortified hilltop towns.

One key highlight is Greve in Chianti, a vibrant village with welcoming piazzas and artisan shops, where visitors soak in the atmosphere while tasting local olive oils and wines in authentic Enotecas. The centerpiece of the journey is an exclusive visit to a Chianti winery set in the region’s vines. Here, a sommelier escorts guests through vineyards and ancient cellars, followed by a detailed tasting session that includes Chianti Classico, Riserva varieties, the honeyed sweetness of Vin Santo, and occasionally prized white wines.

Lunch is either arranged at a traditional Tuscan restaurant or can be enjoyed on-site at the winery, featuring cuisine designed to complement the wines. Afternoons expand into visits to agricultural estates, deepening appreciation for the region’s commitment to quality and terroir.

Discovery Guided Tours stands out by combining luxury transport, local expertise, and intimate access to Tuscany's wine culture. For travelers docked in Livorno or staying nearby, this tour delivers a curated glimpse into one of Italy’s most celebrated wine regions, grounding the experience in both sensory pleasure and cultural authenticity.
