Private wine tasting and winery tours in Chianti and Tuscany

“Degustazione” – wine tasting – is the word to watch for on the winery signposts along the various wine routes in Chianti and Tuscany. This means that you can taste the wine produced at that vineyard and if you like it you can buy a few bottles. You might also want to keep your eyes open for an “enoteca” – this is an establishment, usually in a town, where you can sample wines from a wide variety of local wine estates.

Wine tasting toursHow to visit more than one winery, “taste” more than one wine, and still be able to get safely from one winery to the next? An excellent option is to hire a car with a driver-guide for a half or a whole day wine tour. Your guide should be knowledgeable in local oenology, be able to suggest suitable itineraries, including lunch stops, and be willing to make certain that the wineries that you will visit are open and receiving visitors at the time you plan to be there. Our recommendations are given below.
