Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Castello del Trebbio, Via Santa Brigida 9 Pontassieve, 50065 Santa Brigida Italy

Usually, this is the first stop of our wine itinerary. We will have the chance to explore the old cellars and then we will gather in a private wine tasting room to enjoy 5 different wines of this prestigious winery

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Tenuta di Bossi, Via Dello Stracchino 32, 50065, Pontassieve Italy

Second stop at Tenuta Bossi, this is a renaissance villa that dates back to the XV century and belongs to a famous and prestigious noble family of Florence, called Gondi. This family was in the bank business at the same time as Lorenzo de Medici. Nowadays they are in the winemaking business and produce both Chianti and Supertuscan wines. I'm very impressed then by their own production of Vinsanto "Cardinal de Retz " one of the best of Tuscany says Vittorio, one of the oldest Sommelier in Florence.

Five stars! Highly recommend. We had a lovely day on the Castle and Chianti Tour. Our tour guide, Julia, was fantastic- she was knowledgeable, friendly and made the entire experience so fun. We enjoyed two tastings at two beautiful vineyards, along with a delicious lunch in a small Italian village. By far our favorite experience we had while exploring Italy.

My wife and I had the most extraordinary day of wine tasting at the castles in Tuscany with our amazing tour guide, Hillary! This experience was nothing short of magical. If we could give a 10 star rating we would! First and foremost, Hillary was the best tour guide we could have ever asked for. She is super knowledgeable about Florence, Tuscany, Wines, and history. The wineries were straight out of a fairytale. Visiting these historic castles nestled among the vineyards was a dream come true. The architecture, the lush gardens, and the views of the Tuscan countryside were simply breathtaking. The wine selection was equally impressive. Each vineyard we visited had its unique charm and offered a delightful array of wines. We drank amazing wine and Hillary taught us about chianti Ruffina. She is a trained sommelier making the tastings both educational and enjoyable. What set this experience apart was the hospitality. The staff at each castle went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. They shared stories about the history of the castles and the winemaking traditions, adding depth to our visits. The day concluded with a sense of fulfillment and a newfound appreciation for the beauty of Tuscany. If you're looking for a luxurious, immersive, and utterly enchanting wine-tasting experience, we wholeheartedly recommend Hillary and this trip! Five stars, no doubt!

Perfect place to be close to Florence but far enough away to be in one of the most relaxing places you can imagine. The countryside is just breath taking, the people we met and the restaurants we went to are just about perfect.

We had an excellent tour with Hillary in the Chianti Ruffina region. She shared her wine knowledge in a very accessible way. The historical context as well as general conversation made the tour really fun. We had toured Chianti Classico region previously and still learned lots of new things about wine making and specific regional differences. And of course the wine and lunch were excellent!
