Trade Florence’s bustle for a full day through Chianti’s rolling vineyards, hilltop villages, and optional winery lunch. This private tour pairs scenic photo stops with local tastings and the comfort of a chauffeured Mercedes.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light breaks over Florence as a Mercedes glides out of the city and the countryside unwraps itself—rows of vines, olive trees leaning into the warm air, and narrow lanes that curve around low stone walls. The driver sets the rhythm: slow enough to notice ruined castle keeps perched on ridgelines, quick enough to keep a full day’s itinerary on track.
