Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Chianti Classico and a Super Tuscan?
Chianti Classico must follow strict DOCG rules based mainly on Sangiovese, while Super Tuscans are made outside those rules — often blending in Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot — giving winemakers more freedom to experiment with style.
Can we choose which wineries we visit?
Yes — as a private tour, your guide can tailor the three estates on this route around your taste, from traditional DOCG producers to more experimental Super Tuscan cellars.
Is olive oil tasting really included?
Yes — one of the stops includes a guided olive oil tasting alongside the wine, a nice way to understand how Tuscan producers pair the two.
Reviews
Marc Tran
A wonderful day touring Chianti Classico — we stopped at three small, artisanal wineries, with a delicious lunch at one of them. I have visited wineries elsewhere in Italy and beyond, but this stood out: meeting the winemakers felt like catching up with old friends, and the conversations gave me a real appreciation for natural Italian wine I did not have before. Nico, our guide and sommelier, made the day — his enthusiasm for wine, food pairing, and Italian culture was infectious, and we got around in a comfortably air-conditioned car despite the summer heat. Highly recommend Italy and Wine, and I would book again.

We had an unforgettable wine tour in the Florence countryside with Niccolò. His knowledge of Tuscany, local history and wine was exceptional, but what made the day truly special was his warmth and genuine passion. The wineries were wonderful, and every producer welcomed us with generosity and made us feel part of their world. It was far more than a tasting tour: it was an authentic introduction to Tuscan wine, beautiful landscapes and local traditions. From beginning to end, everything was perfectly organised and relaxed. We would highly recommend Niccolò to anyone looking for a personal, memorable wine experience in Florence or Tuscany.

What an amazing experience! Niccolò is knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and knows why you’re there… to eat and drink! I proposed to my now fiancé during the experience, and the entire team made this the most memorable day imaginable. Thank you thank you thank you! WOULD RECOMMEND

Our wine tour with Andrea was the highlight of our two week trip to Italy! We had very high expectations, and they were exceeded across the board. Andrea connected on a personal level with each member of our six person group, and adapted the tastings to our personal preferences. His knowledge of wine, the vintners and the region is outstanding. We visited three wineries, and each one was unique, providing us with special memories from our Tuscan vacation. I highly recommend Italy and Wine, and have the highest praise for Andrea. Book this tour with confidence!.

An unforgettable experience! Andrea was the most amazing tour guide, and really got to know our group. From start to finish, our tour was professionally run, with no pressure to buy any wine, and perhaps one of the most enriching experiences we have ever had on our vocations together. Each of our wine stops was carefully curated, and once again I commend Andrea for his expert service. We highly recommend this tour to all, and would gladly do something again when the opportunity presents itself.

We had an amazing day with our personal tour guide Matteo. He was knowledgable and accommodating in all respects. The 2 vineyards that we visited were amazing in their own rights as each had different areas of focus. We also had lunch on a nearby farm which was delightful. A great day and would highly recommend the private tour if you are considering it - worth it!
