What to expect
You'll climb into an open van and head into genuine wine country, where the landscape shifts from Tuscan towns to endless grapevines. The driver stops in Greve, where you'll have time to wander the arcaded square and get a feel for a real working Chianti town—not a tourist theme park. Then comes the winery visit: expect a straightforward tasting of two or three wines, probably paired with light snacks, in a casual setting. The whole thing moves at a relaxed pace. Bring sunscreen and a light jacket; the open-top means you're exposed to the elements.
