Tour Description

Welcome to the authentic heart of the Chianti Classico region. I invite you to experience our homeland not as a standard tourist, but as an intimate guest of our family. This exclusive half-day Personalized journey is meticulously organized down to the smallest detail by me, Niccolò, to share our local knowledge, passion, and time-honored traditions. From the moment we meet until the end of the day, you will have my continuous, dedicated assistance to ensure a flawless and stress-free experience.

A Completely Seamless Journey: Your experience begins in total comfort. I will personally pick you up directly from your accommodation in our premium, comfortable vehicle, so you can fully relax and enjoy the rolling hills without worrying about driving on winding Tuscan roads.

Our First Stop: The Historic Charm of Greve in Chianti

Before reaching our main estate destination, our first stop is Greve in Chianti, the historical market heart of the wine region. We will stop here for a beautiful walk together. I will show you its famous and unique triangular piazza, surrounded by ancient open-air porticoes. You will have dedicated free time to explore the historic artisan butcher shops, discover local boutiques, and soak in the vibrant, timeless atmosphere of this small Chianti village at your own pace.

The Castle Experience: History, Cellars & A Farm-to-Table Lunch

After our visit to Greve, we will drive up to a magnificent medieval Castle that has stood guard over the valley for nearly a thousand years. This legendary estate carries a fascinating heritage: it was the birthplace of the famous maritime explorer who first mapped the East Coast of North America and discovered New York Bay.

A walk through the lush Renaissance gardens of the Castle will lead us through the secrets of the ancient, historic aging cellars carved directly into the hillside beneath it. Surrounded by massive oak casks, you will discover how wine has been passionately produced on these grounds for centuries.

After the tour, we will reach the warm and welcoming Hosteria, where a full, family-style lunch with shared tables awaits you. The meal features a traditional Tuscan countryside menu prepared with fresh farm products and outstanding local ingredients, masterfully paired with a selection of the Castle’s finest organically produced wines, extra virgin olive oil, and historic balsamic tasting.
