Spend a private day driving the Chianti hills from Florence: family-run Tenuta Le Lame, a traditional Tuscan lunch at La Cantinetta di Rignana, and a private tour and tasting at Castello di Brolio. Expect small-group attention, historic cellars, and sweeping vineyard views.

Morning light slants across rows of Sangiovese as the private car threads a narrow road through Chianti’s rolling hills. Vine leaves tremble in a cool breeze that seems to nudge you toward the next tasting; stone farmhouses and low cypress rows punctuate wide sky and vineyard. The tour opens at Tenuta Le Lame, a family-run estate where small-batch production and hands-on cellar work give each glass a sense of place.
