    Lovely day trip

    I booked this Chianti wine tasting tour. It was a lot of fun. Great wines. Learned a lot. Thé tour leader, Lulu, was great. I used code "PARTY" when I booked and received a discount. I would definitely recommend this day trip.

    Response from the operator: Hi! Thanks for taking the time to review our Green Chianti wine-tasting tour! It is one of our best sellers, and we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the wines and learned a lot about the wine-making process! Thanks for choosing to travel with us and we hope to have you on another trip soon!

    A MUST do wine trip in Tuscany!

    Had an absolutely amazing time tasting some of the best wines I’ve ever had, as well as some of the best views I’ve ever seen as well. Alexa was my tour guide, and made the experience that much better with her professionalism and attentiveness to making sure we had the best trip ever!

    Response from the operator: Hi John, Thanks for your kind review of our wine-tasting tour and your guide Alexa! The chianti region is truly incredible and we are really happy to know you had a wonderful time on this tour! Thanks for choosing Smart Trip. We hope to have you on another tour soon!

    The second winery was...

    The second winery was nice the first was not comfortable and long overall the trip was a disappointment. Our guides did nothing other than point us to the bus. No history no pointing out sites etc. I would not do it again.

    Nancy_N · May 2023

    Just ok

    The second winery was nice but there were too many people at both and it felt industrial and impersonal.

    Response from the operator: Dear Nancy, Thank you for your review. We are always working to improve our services and take travelers' feedback very seriously. The group size varies from trip to trip, but we always do our best to make every traveler feel welcome and create a personal connection with them. We visit some of Chianti's top vineyards, but I apologize that they did not meet your expectations. Thanks again for sharing your feedback and we hope to have you travel with us in the future so that we can offer you a better experience.

    Tuscany Wine Tastings with Panoramic View - Florence to Chianti: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tuscany Wine Tastings with Panoramic View - Florence to Chianti cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 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 Tuscany Wine Tastings with Panoramic View - Florence to Chianti 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 Tuscany Wine Tastings with Panoramic View - Florence to Chianti worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 14 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 Tuscany Wine Tastings with Panoramic View - Florence to Chianti?

    +

    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 Tuscany Wine Tastings with Panoramic View - Florence to Chianti 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 Tuscany Wine Tastings with Panoramic View - Florence to Chianti?

    +

    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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tuscany Wine Tastings with Panoramic View - Florence to Chianti 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 Tuscany Wine Tastings with Panoramic View - Florence to Chianti?

    +

    Included: Samples of local products like olive oil, balsamic vinegar, meats & cheeses, and more; Tasting of up to 5 Chianti wines at both wineries; Panoramic views, perfect for everlasting photo opportunities!; Round trip journey by fully-fitted GT Coach; and Opportunity to purchase wine & other products with international shipping. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tuscany Wine Tastings with Panoramic View - Florence to Chianti?

    +

    Meet us at Piazzale Montelungo, Firenze FI, Italy. The bus terminal is located about 5-10 minutes walking distance from Santa Maria Novella Train Station. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Tuscany Wine Tastings with Panoramic View - Florence to Chianti offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tuscany Wine Tastings with Panoramic View - Florence to Chianti?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
