Truly exceptional wineries tour
A truly exceptional experience touring 2 wineries and San Gimignano with Gabriele. We visited a family winery in San Gimignano with a tour and tasting of wines and olive oil. Made a quick stop to walk through San Gimignano. Then visited an incredible winery in Chianti with a Tasting, personal tour by Gabriele, and 4 course lunch. The properties were first class. And Gabriele’s expertise of the entire winemaking process made him the perfect guide. We did a private tour, picked up directly at our hotel. Highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Vicki, I really enjoyed showing you around and sharing a little more of what happens from the vineyard all the way to the glass. Thank you for being such curious and wonderful company… it makes these days even more fun for us too. Grazie mille for the lovely words, and I hope Tuscany treated you well for the rest of your trip! A presto…

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 10/10
We had an absolutely wonderful day touring Tuscany with Tuscany Uncorked! Our guide, Gabriele, was amazing from start to finish. He was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and so much fun to spend the day with. We especially loved that the tour took us to off-the-beaten-path wineries and unique experiences that felt authentic and away from the typical tourist crowds. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and every stop was memorable. Gabriele truly made the experience special with his warm personality, great sense of humor, and passion for the region. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience the Tuscan countryside and its wine culture. Highly recommend Tuscany Uncorked.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing this, Adam! You made me smile reading your words! It’s a pretty wonderful thing to read after spending a day together in Tuscany. I had a fantastic time showing you around… great wine, plenty of laughs, and very good company certainly made my job easy that day! I hope a presto… with Tuscany Uncorked

10/10 experience!!!
I cannot recommend Tuscany Uncorked enough! When I was looking for a wine tour, I wanted a small, intimate experience and to visit “off the beaten path” wineries vs. super popular “tourist traps” and that’s exactly what we got! We went to a smaller family run winery in Chianti and then an even smaller winery in Carmignano where the owner prepared a delicious Tuscan style lunch for us in her kitchen! Everything was incredible! We brought along our almost 10-month old as well and it went so well! 10/10 recommend booking your tour here. We will absolutely book again when we come back!!
Response from the operator: 10/10 guests too! 😄 Thank you, so much Kelsea... we had such a fun day with your family. And I have to say, you chose two very different sides of Tuscan wine country for your first adventure with us: Chianti and little Carmignano, not a bad introduction! So happy you found exactly the kind of experience you were looking for. See you for round two in Tuscany!

Tremendous Tuscany!
Awesome trip with fantastic views,food and wines! So much wine culture and a very thorough lesson in Italian Tuscany wines. Gabriele was superb and knowledgeable. A fun and awesome person to lead and share his love for wines. A must try!!!will be planning my next one soon..
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! This really means a lot. I’m so happy you enjoyed the views and Tuscan wine culture. That’s exactly what Tuscany Uncorked loves sharing: not just glasses of wine, but the people, places, and stories behind them. It was a real pleasure spending the day with you… and I’ll be ready for the next one whenever you come back… Grazie mille

Best experience ever !
A special thank you to Gabriele — everything was so well planned and organised, and the whole trip went so smoothly. His knowledge, guidance and passion really made the wine visits so much more interesting and enjoyable. We definitely learned a lot along the way!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your beautiful words! I’m really happy to hear that the day felt smooth, well planned, and enjoyable from beginning to end. For us at Tuscany Uncorked, a wine tour should never feel rushed or complicated… it should give you the time to enjoy the wineries, understand the wines, and have fun along the way. It was a real pleasure sharing the day with you, and I’m so glad you learned something while enjoying the experience. Grazie mille!

Small Group Chianti Wine Tour with a Somm: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Small Group Chianti Wine Tour with a Somm cost?
+
Prices start at $241 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 Small Group Chianti Wine Tour with a Somm take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Small Group Chianti Wine Tour with a Somm worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 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 Small Group Chianti Wine Tour with a Somm?
+
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 Small Group Chianti Wine Tour with a Somm suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small Group Chianti Wine Tour with a Somm?
+
Around 6 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group Chianti Wine Tour with a Somm 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.
