There are certain things which are directly associated with Italy: fashion, matchless cuisine, numerous masterpieces scattered all over its territory, and Italian wines. Chianti is probably the most popular of them. As a professional private guide in Florence I would strongly advice you to take this tour.  At first I will pick you at the pier and we will proceed directly to Chianti area.

On our way to Chianti you will be able to enjoy the wonderful view of Italian natural beauty: high hills, sublime mountains and picturesque plains. Chianti is a famous tourist attraction and it is definitely worth seeing! You will find there lovely country houses, which are carefully restored after the models of 800 old houses. All these dwellings are surrounded with an age-old forest, numerous vineyards and of course olive trees. You will spend a couple of hours in one of these authentic houses with a chef, who will teach you how to cook dishes from the Tuscany menu and how to choose the right wine for the meal.

After that you will have something from this menu at lunch accompanied with the most suitable wine. After the lunch break we will proceed to Greve, which is considered to be the capital of Chianti wine. This little village is named after the river, which flows nearby and is also famous for its monument to Giovanni da Verrazzano. Among different private tours in Florence this one is among the most popular ones.
