    2. Castello Di Verrazzano

      The first vineyard you will visit is the acclaimed Castello di Verrazzano. Once an Etruscan and then Roman settlement, wine-making on this soil dates back to a thousand-year-old tradition. Does the name Verrazzano ring a bell? Yes, this vineyard belonged to the family of Giovanni Verrazzano, the 16th-century explorer who navigated the waters of New York. This vineyard estate has been running for over 1000 years, producing some of the best Chianti Classico wine in the world. With 52 hectares of vineyards, an ancient castle and cellar, there is much to see. Upon arrival, you will join a 1.5-hour Classic Chianti Wine tour led by the estate.

This will include their acclaimed ruby red Chianti Classico DOCG wine, with its intense scents and rich fruity flavors. You may also taste the estate’s own Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar

    Wine Tasting and Dinner

    Aldo was very informative for our Private Chianti Wine Tasting from Florence experience. His depth of information on wines and the elements that make up wine across all of Italy was thorough but easy for us to understand. The dinner location and selections were fabulous. The gelato selection was outstanding as well. As Aldo shared the food and wine of Florence were beautiful together.

    Outstanding guide, beautiful wineries!

    Our private guide was outstanding. He taught us so much about Tuscany during our drive. The two wineries were stunning, and both of the tours and wine tastings were so enjoyable and educational. Definitely would recommend this to anyone!

    Private Chianti Wine Tasting from Florence, Half Day Experience: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Chianti Wine Tasting from Florence, Half Day Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $647 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 Private Chianti Wine Tasting from Florence, Half Day Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Private Chianti Wine Tasting from Florence, Half Day Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Private Chianti Wine Tasting from Florence, Half Day Experience?

    +

    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 Private Chianti Wine Tasting from Florence, Half Day Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Chianti Wine Tasting from Florence, Half Day Experience?

    +

    Around 5 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Chianti Wine Tasting from Florence, Half Day Experience 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.
