Book Chianti by the day, not point to point
A typical day is two estate visits with lunch and the drive between them. That works best as a full-day booking (8–10 hours) rather than a single transfer. Tell us how many estates you want and whether you prefer tastings or a cooking class, and we will propose a realistic plan — and take care of tasting reservations through partners.
Which vehicle?
A van (up to 7 passengers) is the most comfortable for Chianti's winding roads; larger groups can travel in two vehicles or a minibus where estate access allows.
