About this experience

If you're looking to slow down and soak in the beauty of Tuscany beyond Florence, this day trip is for you. We’ll take you on a relaxed journey through the Chianti countryside, where rolling hills, vineyards, and medieval villages feel like something out of a painting. You'll start your day with a visit to the famous Castello di Verrazzano, where you’ll walk through the estate’s gardens and historic wine cellars, upon request, you'll be able to have a guided tasting of their organic wines, olive oil, and local specialties. Next, we’ll stop in Greve in Chianti, a small town with a big heart. Here, you’ll have time to explore the local shops, try a traditional salumi, and wander through its charming piazza under stone archways. For lunch, we’ll point you to a few of our favorite trattorias—nothing touristy, just good honest Tuscan food. In the afternoon, you’ll head to Panzano, a peaceful hilltop village where time slows down. Walk along the medieval walls, peek into quiet churches, and take in sweeping views over the vineyards that stretch as far as the eye can see. With a friendly, English-speaking driver and a flexible pace, this tour is perfect for couples, friends, or families who want to truly feel Tuscany—its food, its people, and its timeless landscapes.
