Vino vino vino
Such a fun and unforgettable half-day wine tour in Chianti! We started with a little rain, which honestly added to the charm and authenticity of the experience. Visiting both a wonderful family-run winery and a larger, well-known winery gave us the best of both worlds. The breathtaking Tuscan views, incredible wine, and welcoming atmosphere made this an experience we’ll never forget. Absolutely loved every minute!

A dream come true.
What an amazing experience! The Chianti tour was truly unforgettable. Both wineries were wonderful, and I had such a great time enjoying the beautiful scenery, the wine, and the company. A special thank you to our wonderful host, Federica, and to our driver. You both made the experience even more enjoyable with your kindness, attention, and great energy. I also enjoyed meeting such wonderful people along the way. Thank you for creating such a beautiful memory for me. I would absolutely love to do this tour again someday. Thank you, Lord, for this blessing and for allowing me to experience the beauty of Tuscany. 🍇🍷🇮🇹 “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.” — Psalm 34:8

A bit disappointed
Their tour is a walk to grape vines and then off to tastings. A bit disappointing! The tastings were good and they make olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Horrible
Horrible experience. Couldn’t find the guide tour. The phone number linked didn’t work and couldn’t reach customer service. Don’t waste your money!

Half-Day Chianti Escape from Florence with Two Wine Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Half-Day Chianti Escape from Florence with Two Wine Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half-Day Chianti Escape from Florence with Two Wine Tastings take?
+
Plan for about 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 Florence is not rushed.
Is Half-Day Chianti Escape from Florence with Two Wine Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 309 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half-Day Chianti Escape from Florence with Two Wine Tastings?
+
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 Half-Day Chianti Escape from Florence with Two Wine Tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half-Day Chianti Escape from Florence with Two Wine Tastings?
+
Around 108 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 Florence 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 Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half-Day Chianti Escape from Florence with Two Wine Tastings 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 Florence 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 Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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 Florence?
+
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 Florence?
+
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.
