What to expect

You'll start with collection from your accommodation, then drive into the Chianti wine zone. At each winery, you'll see how grapes move through the cellars and ageing process—no polished tasting room theatrics, just the actual work of making wine. Between the wineries, you'll spend time wandering San Gimignano, where medieval towers rise above the village and views stretch across the valleys. Lunch happens somewhere in the Chianti area, typically simple local fare. The day involves moderate walking through vineyards and village streets, plus time sitting in a vehicle. Pace is relaxed rather than rushed.
