About this tour
A 2.5-hour guided tour combining vineyard walk, cellar visit, and Tuscan lunch in Chianti. You'll trek through working vineyards to a 12th-century church with frescoes, tour the estate's aging cellars, then taste wines on a terrace overlooking the Crete Senesi landscape while eating regional specialities under a centuries-old mulberry tree. Suits anyone wanting hands-on winemaking insight paired with food and art history, not just tasting-room sampling.

What to expect
You'll begin with a guided walk through the vineyard itself, heading toward the historic church of San Giorgio a Lapi. After time to view the 12th-century frescoes inside, the group moves into the estate cellars, where a guide walks you through how the wine is made and aged. You'll see the physical setup — tanks, barrels, equipment — rather than just hear about it in an office.
The experience concludes on the terrace with a structured wine tasting, poured alongside a lunch of traditional Tuscan dishes. You'll eat and drink in the shade of the old mulberry tree, with views across the rolling landscape. The whole outing takes 2.5 hours from start to finish.

Good to know
This suits wine and history lovers who want a working estate tour, not a polished tasting-room sit-down. It's practical for families with infants (prams welcome, specialised seats available), wheelchair users (fully accessible grounds and transport), and anyone of any fitness level. The vineyard walk is moderate pace over natural terrain; no steep climbs are mentioned, but uneven ground is likely. Peak season (spring–autumn) will draw bigger groups; consider timing off-season for a quieter experience. Lunch is included alongside the wine tasting. Budget for any additional wine purchases if you want to take bottles home.
