Chianti Rufina is a small wine-growing region near Florence, just 30 minutes from the city center.
Its wine is known for its character, which depends on the rocky soil and the area's elevation.
Highlights
- Full-day tour with English-speaking driver.
- Discover two wineries in Chianti Rufina.
- Enjoy a delicious typical Tuscan meal.
- Olive Oil Tasting
Chianti Rufina DOCG wine region is one of the oldest places in Tuscany where the grapes have been growing; it seems the wine has been produced here since Etruscan time.
The Chianti Rufina area was in part delimited in the Bando (Proclamation) issued by Cosimo III de’ Medici, Granduca di Toscana, in 1716.
In this wine tour, you will be guided on a full-day excursion to discover two exceptional wineries set in the heart of the Chianti Rufina area and highly rated by influential wine publications.
Because of the elevation, this region is also suitable for white wines. You will taste the Chianti Rufina Riserva, Super Tuscan, and Vinsanto. One of the wineries also produces an excellent extra virgin olive oil branded as Laudemio.
The tour begins with the pick-up at your hotel, and in 30 min, we will reach the first winery, which is situated in a magnificent Renaissance Villa.
Here you will see the historic cellar, and immediately afterward, you will have a wine tasting accompanied by cheese and salami.
Immediately afterward, we will enjoy a Tuscan lunch in a restaurant among beautiful vineyards.
In the early afternoon, we will visit another historical wine cellar to taste five exceptional wines Chianti Rufina, Super Tuscan, and a special Vinsanto (dessert wine).
On the way back, we can stop to photograph the spectacular scenery of Chianti Rufina, one of the most beautiful and unspoiled in Tuscany.

The private tour was exactly what we wanted and more. He was so kind and knowledgeable about the wine and the region. Both vineyards we visited were amazing and the lunch we had was perfect! Thanks for planning such a great trip!

Vittorio treated us to an amazing day in the Chianti region of Tuscany, visiting two wineries that also made olive oil! We learned so much about both wine and oil that I never knew and it made the experience that much better! The views and scenery were among the best I’ve ever seen anywhere and Vittorio educated us on many other factors of the Florence area. A fantastic experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Tuscany. Thank you, Vittorio! We will be back!
