Despite choosing the Spanish tour, the group was mixed in English, Spanish and Italian. However, the guide who accompanied the group gave explanations in all three languages. Only in the 2 wineries we visited was the language only in English or Italian. The 2 visits to the wineries were good, with a small tasting of bread with olive oil and 3 wines in each (starter wines).

Great experience, perfect length, great lunch & wine. The guide was the cherry on top, fascinating explanations about the places we saw, and even additional explanations about Florence and different things that we saw on the way. The bus trip itself is also a breath of fresh air and air conditioning in between sightseeing. The only tip: I think for european travelers, the 'winery' is obviously not a real winery but a business for tourist entertainment, especially because of the slightly pathetic comedy show pulled by the winery host, with bad jokes targeting directly North American tourists.

The tour was very nice. My mother and I really enjoyed all the places we visited. Lunch in San Gimignano was delicious, accompanied by local Tuscan products, which made the experience even more special. For those who prefer to tour the towns without any rush, we suggest doing it on your own. Finally, we would like to thank immensely the help offered by the guide Alexandra who very kindly helped us find a place to leave our luggage in Siena as we were not ending the tour in Florence as scheduled, but were heading to another destination. Without his help we would not have known Siena. Excellent as a professional and as a person.

This was one of the highlights of my trip! Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. Her English was also very good. Marco at Poggio ai Laghi (the winery) was hilarious and made the experience that much better! Definitely do this if you get a chance. Be prepared; this is a lot of walking, so wear very good shoes.

It was easy to be brought around, and I think all of the places we visited were good. The tour guide was also very good. I was, however, disappointed that there was a toilet on the bus and we weren't allowed to use it on a tour that went 12 hours. Also, the vegetarian meal was about half the size of the other meal for lunch.

It was a nice trip well organised by the tour managers . The main highlights of the trip were given in d bus before reaching a particular stop. However the only problem was the same thing was repeated in spanish and portuguese which went över the head!... the views of pisa, chianti and sam gimgnano worth the travel!! A long and tiring trip so plan the previous day accordingly so that next day u can enjoy your tour to fullest! Overall it was a lovely experience with our guides!

Hi, My experience with Headout team and the guide was suoer amazing, I think on our own we wouldn't have ever visited so many places in one day, but due to this trip we could visit so much and the guide was also very informative. I speacially love the wine tasting experience. Wish we would have got more time everywhere but it was a little hectic but worth visting ..I just loved it.

It was a very easy process to find our guide and get on the bus. They were very communicative and provided easy instructions. The bus to Pisa was nice and spacious and good AC. Our tour guide Ricardo once we arrived to Pisa was very knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. As expected, Pisa was a magical experience that my family will take forever. Great experience with Headout .

FlorenceFlorence To Chianti Tours

The ultimate Chianti tour from Florence

A short one-hour drive away from Florence, Chianti is a bucket-list-worthy escape into Tuscany’s rolling vineyards, historic villages, and world-class wine. You’ll also see charming olive groves, fortresses, parish churches, and castles. This guide will help you plan the perfect Chianti tour, whether you’re a wine enthusiast, history buff, or simply looking for a relaxing getaway.

Things to know before booking a Chianti tour from Florence

  • Almost all major wineries in Chianti include wine tasting only as part of a vineyard tour. While you can often book on-site, it’s a good idea to check if reservations are required, especially if you plan to visit specific wineries.
  • Many smaller, family-run wineries may not accommodate walk-ins, so booking in advance ensures you won’t miss out on a tasting experience. These tours provide valuable insights into the winemaking process and the region’s history.
  • Chianti isn’t easily accessible by public transport—trains don’t reach the area, and buses aren’t ideal for vineyard visits. While self-driving offers flexibility, the roads are narrow and parking is limited in small towns. Organized tours are a stress-free option, with convenient round-trip transfers from Florence.
  • Chianti isn’t just about wine—it’s also known for its delicious cuisine and high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Make the most of your visit! Some tours include elaborate 4 or 5-course traditional Tuscan lunches or dinners paired with wine, while others focus solely on tastings. Be sure to check if lunch is included, especially for longer tours. You can also visit an olive oil mill to see the production process and sample fresh oil. It’s a memorable cultural experience!
  • While semi-private tours are pricier, they come with perks like a more personalized experience, smaller groups (8-10 people), luxury transportation, gourmet lunches, and exclusive tastings.
  • For those seeking a more budget-friendly experience, there are half-day tours starting from around €48. These are perfect if you’re short on time or looking for a more basic introduction to Chianti’s wine culture.
  • Looking for a quick getaway or a full-day adventure? We've got tours for you! Options range from 5-hour wine tastings to 11-hour day trips that include Siena, San Gimignano, and Chianti. For a more well-rounded Tuscan experience, check out the tours that include Pisa and the famous Leaning Tower!
  • Please note, our Chianti tours include wine tasting, so they're not suitable for those under 18. If you're under 18, you'll need an accompanying adult.

Best time to take a Chianti tour from Florence 

Peak vs. Non-peak times

Chianti's peak tourist season is from June to August, attracting crowds for its great weather and wine festivals, especially in towns like Greve and San Gimignano. For a more relaxed visit, consider the shoulder seasons of spring (March to May) or fall (September to November), when the crowds thin, and the landscapes shine. 

For a vibrant vineyard experience, visit during the grape harvest season from September to October, when you might even join in the harvest.

Climate considerations

For the best weather, visit Chianti between April-June or September-October, when temperatures range from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). These months provide comfortable conditions for exploring vineyards and towns, with spring blooms or autumn colors adding to the scenic beauty. Summer can be hot, with temperatures over 30°C (86°F), making outdoor activities less comfortable.

Route options:

  • SR222 (Chiantigiana Road): This scenic two-lane road winds through the hills of Chianti, passing through picturesque villages and vineyards. This road can be narrow and winding, so drive carefully, especially when wildlife may cross the road at night.
  • SR2 (Cassia): This historic Roman road runs parallel to the Superstrada and provides another route into Chianti, passing through towns like Poggibonsi and Monteriggioni.

Visitor tips

  • Don't limit your visit to just wine tasting. Chianti is also known for its exceptional olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and local delicacies like Pecorino Cheese, Pici Pasta, Stracotto al Chianti and more. 
  • While the wineries are a highlight, take time to explore the charming towns in Chianti, such as Greve in Chianti and Radda in Chianti. Stop for a coffee or aperitivo in a local piazza and watch daily life unfold. 
  • To avoid crowds, try to visit wineries early in the day or later in the afternoon. Many tourists arrive around midday, so an early start can provide a more intimate experience at popular spots.
  • Wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers, as you may be walking through vineyards and exploring small towns. The weather can change quickly in Tuscany, so being prepared will enhance your comfort throughout the day.
  • Don’t hesitate to engage with the staff at wineries. They often have fascinating stories about their wines and the region, and asking questions can enrich your tasting experience.

Frequently asked questions about taking a Chianti tour from Florence

How far is Chianti from Florence?

The distance between Florence and the Chianti region is approximately 35 kilometers (21 miles) by road. It's a 45 minutes - 1 hour drive.

What’s the best way to get from Florence to Chianti—train, bus, car, or tour?

The best way to reach Chianti from Florence depends on your preferences. While buses and trains are budget-friendly, they require changing stops and aren't that flexible. Renting a car gives you freedom to explore but can be tricky with rural roads. Tours are the most convenient option, offering round-trip transfers, vineyard visits, and meals, letting you relax while everything is taken care of.

How early should I book a Chianti tour, especially during peak season?

It's recommended to book your Chianti tour at least two weeks in advance during peak season (June to August) to ensure availability, especially for popular tours that include wine tastings and visits to multiple towns. During other seasons, booking 3 days to one week in advance is fine.

Can I customize my Chianti tour?

While the core itinerary is standardized to ensure you experience the best of Chianti, we offer a variety of permutations and combinations to suit your preferences. You can choose from top experiences like visiting specific wineries, exploring historic towns such as Siena and San Gimignano, or even adding a traditional Tuscan lunch. This flexibility allows you to tailor your day while still benefiting from a well-planned tour.

Are the vineyard visits suitable for families with children?

The Chianti region is known for its laid-back, family-oriented culture, making it a comfortable environment for families to enjoy wine tasting and local cuisine together. Although, do note that guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult to book our tours. Many wineries in Chianti are family-friendly, offering activities like scavenger hunts, outdoor play areas, and educational components about winemaking. It is generally recommended that children be at least 5 years old to enjoy the experience.

Do I need to know Italian to enjoy a Chianti tour?

Most Chianti tours are conducted in English, and guides are usually multilingual. However, knowing a few basic Italian phrases can enhance your experience, especially in smaller towns and local markets.

What should I expect in terms of wine tasting etiquette?

When attending a wine tasting, it's essential to follow some basic etiquette to enhance your experience and show respect for the hosts. Avoid wearing strong fragrances that can overpower the wine's aromas. Hold your glass by the stem to avoid warming the wine and leaving fingerprints. Take your time to savor each sip, and feel free to use a spittoon if you're tasting multiple wines. Engage with the pourer to learn more about the wines, and cleanse your palate between tastings. It's also perfectly fine to spit out wine to keep your palate fresh and avoid intoxication. Dress smart-casual, wear comfortable shoes, and keep an open mind to discover new flavors.
