    An exclusive wine tasting experience you won't find anywhere else!

    Hands down one of the best days of our vacation! We took the Vinci and Chianti small group tour with Come and See Italy. Not only did we explore the charming roots of Leonardo da Vinci, but we also had an exclusive, private wine tasting at Firma SommaVilla—a local producer that distributes exclusively in Italy and works only with this tour agency. We tasted 4 incredible Chianti wines (1 white and 3 reds) plus their famous vin santo. Our guide was absolute sunshine, and the whole day was smooth, comfortable, and unforgettable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Chianti Wine

    Tania was an excellent tour guide. Very informative and funny and we did a sing a long on the way home. Saw some amazing views and drank great wine. Learned about olives and olive making process as well as wine making process and how to taste. She is also an excellent driver and felt very safe with her. Would do another tour with her 🍷😃👍

    Unforgettable Half-day of History and Wine

    Where should I start? Not only was the tour itself amazing and full of fun and learning, but Tania is delightful and extremely knowledgeable and made the entire experience unforgettable. We started the day as clients and finished the day saying goodbye as if to a dear friend. Getting to see Vinci through the eyes of Leonardo, feeling the history and sense of family of the vineyard we visited, learning so much about the process and culture of wine—it all added up to a perfect half day. Book a tour with Tania, and I guarantee you will laugh, you will enjoy learning, and you may even feel like you are a part of history.

    First rate experience!

    We actually did a private afternoon wine tour from our hotel towards Montecarlo. The company were helpful and accommodating to our needs. Valeria was wonderful, good company and knowledgeable about Tuscany. She listened to our specific interests and tailored our conversations rather than just a pre-prepared discussion. We enjoyed the tour and saw the village afterwards before heading back. We’re slow walkers as I’m a professional photographer taking lots of pictures. We didn’t feel rushed in anyway.

    Chianti Wine and Vinci half day Small Group Tour from Lucca: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucca.

    How much does Chianti Wine and Vinci half day Small Group Tour from Lucca cost?

    +

    Prices start at $147 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Chianti Wine and Vinci half day Small Group Tour from Lucca take?

    +

    Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lucca is not rushed.

    Is Chianti Wine and Vinci half day Small Group Tour from Lucca worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lucca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Chianti Wine and Vinci half day Small Group Tour from Lucca?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Chianti Wine and Vinci half day Small Group Tour from Lucca suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chianti Wine and Vinci half day Small Group Tour from Lucca?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lucca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lucca and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chianti Wine and Vinci half day Small Group Tour from Lucca start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lucca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lucca?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lucca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tuscan Wine Tour in Lucca by van, Lucca’s Ultimate Food Tour: Full Tuscan Meal by Do Eat Better, Lucca Bikes and Bites with food tastings for Small Groups or Private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lucca?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lucca?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
