Uncover the secrets of Tuscan olive oil production
Your private wine and food tour of Tuscany starts in central Florence, where an air-conditioned, well-appointed minivan will be waiting. An English-speaking driver then takes you into the Chianti hills. At the first stop, you’ll see the traditional methods behind Tuscan olive oil, known worldwide for its rich aroma and flavor.
On a historic estate, you’ll discover how local olive oil was once produced at the press. The visit opens with a tasting.Experience the exceptional Chianti and some of the finest wines globally
Tuscany is just as well known for its wine as its olive oil. Once the olive oil experience ends, your private tour moves on to three historic boutique wineries, where local producers share how they have preserved centuries-old winemaking traditions. An expert sommelier stays with you throughout the day, introducing Chianti and explaining the character of its celebrated Sangiovese and Canaiolo grapes. You’ll taste internationally recognized wines before visiting one of Chianti’s iconic villages.Savor a traditional Tuscan lunch
Start with a small breakfast—a coffee and croissant will do. Tasting oil and wine on an empty stomach isn’t ideal, but there’s no need to worry: a classic Tuscan lunch is in store for you!
