Best wine tour experience
It was such an amazing experience! We really learned so much about the wine from Chianti Classico and just such a fun experience going to three separate vineyards, doing all the tastings, eating amazing food and meeting new people. We absolutely loved our guide giny ( not sure how to spell her name) but she was amazing. Five stars all around and highly recommend.
via Viator
Highly recommend
This trip is very well done and surpassed my expectations. 10/10 service and experience. I’ve been on multiple wine/vineyard tours around the world and this was my favorite. You taste and learn about amazing Tuscan wine but also olives/olive oil.

SMALL-GROUP Wine Safaris: Tuscany Wine Tasting Tour from Florence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does SMALL-GROUP Wine Safaris: Tuscany Wine Tasting Tour from Florence cost?
+
Prices start at $119 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 Wine Safaris: Tuscany Wine Tasting Tour from Florence 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 SMALL-GROUP Wine Safaris: Tuscany Wine Tasting Tour from Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 95 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 5,826 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule SMALL-GROUP Wine Safaris: Tuscany Wine Tasting Tour from Florence?
+
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 Wine Safaris: Tuscany Wine Tasting Tour from Florence 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 SMALL-GROUP Wine Safaris: Tuscany Wine Tasting Tour from Florence?
+
Around 2,039 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 SMALL-GROUP Wine Safaris: Tuscany Wine Tasting Tour from Florence 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.
What is included in SMALL-GROUP Wine Safaris: Tuscany Wine Tasting Tour from Florence?
