120 km, full day - Tempo alla guida: circa 3 ore
A refined journey into the heart of Chiantishire — a land of ancient abbeys, medieval villages and world-class wines, where every bend of the road tells a story.
Your day begins from Piazzale Michelangelo or directly from your hotel.
After a dedicated briefing, take the wheel and start your drive through the rolling Florentine hills, where the landscape opens into a harmony of vineyards, cypresses and timeless beauty.
Our first stop is Greve in Chianti, a vibrant piazza lined with elegant porticoes. Enjoy a relaxed coffee break and a short walk through the village’s authentic atmosphere.
We continue along one of the region’s most scenic routes toward Badia a Passignano, a magnificent monastic complex surrounded by centuries-old vineyards. The silence, the architecture, the history — everything here breathes the pure essence of Chianti.
Driving south, the journey unfolds through an exhilarating alternation of olive groves, castles and medieval hamlets until we reach Castellina in Chianti, an ancient Etruscan village rich in charm. Here, enjoy a lunch of traditional Tuscan flavors in a local trattoria, followed by free time to explore the stone alleys and vaulted streets.
Back behind the wheel, we follow the legendary Chiantigiana, one of Italy’s most beautiful scenic roads. After a few kilometers, breathtaking panoramas lead us to Panzano, a village suspended between sky and vineyards, renowned worldwide for its wine tradition.
Our final destination is Villa Le Corti, an elegant Renaissance estate nestled in the heart of the Florentine Chianti. Wander through its historic cellars dating back to the 1600s, and indulge in a guided tasting of four wines paired with the estate’s exquisite extra virgin olive oil — a true expression of Chianti craftsmanship.
To allow everyone to enjoy the tasting experience, a private shuttle returns you to Florence in the late afternoon, concluding a day immersed in authenticity, beauty and the unmistakable spirit of Chiantishire.
