Every private day is planned by hand, not booked from a menu. Once you enquire, the team puts together a proposal tailored to your dates, pace and taste — usually within 24 hours, with no obligation to book.

The Wineries

Family-run, hand-selected wine estates across Chianti Classico — visits typically include a vineyard walk, a look at the cellar, and a guided tasting led by the winemakers themselves.

Meeting Point

Pickup at your hotel or residence in Florence when possible. Some central streets fall within the ZTL limited traffic zone — cars cannot enter them — in which case we arrange a nearby meeting point instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of cheese will we taste?

Fresh and aged cheeses made on-site from goat's milk at a family-run dairy farm — you'll see the cheesemaking process before tasting the results paired with wine, honey and olive oil.

Is this tour suitable if we're not big wine drinkers?

Yes — the focus is as much on the farm-to-table food experience (cheese, olive oil, a curated lunch) as on the wine, making it a good fit for mixed groups.

Is this tour really private?

Yes — the vehicle, driver and guide are reserved exclusively for your party for the entire day. You won't be grouped with other travelers at any winery.

Matteo guided our private wine and cheese day and made it effortless — he bridged the language gap for us and clearly knew the region inside out. We got to see a side of Tuscany you can't easily find on your own: a small working farm where we watched cheese being made among the livestock, followed by a home-cooked lunch with the family who runs it. The day wrapped up at a winery with a long, storied history. We're already telling friends to book, and we'd come back to this company ourselves.

Pier was an incredible tour guide. He picked us up on time, was so nice, and taught us a lot about Italy and Wine! We did the private wine and cheese tour in Chianti. Pier took us to boutique vineyards, so we got to meet the people behind it and learn how it works. We ate DELICIOUS food, drank INCREDIBLE wine, and met the KINDEST people. My friends and I were not sure what we were getting into, but by the end of the day we all agreed it was our best day
