TheOneToGo
The finest wine tastings here take you out of the city and into the Chianti hills, where the grapes actually grow.
Our pick
You spend an afternoon in a working Tuscan winery, swirling through several estate reds and whites while a knowledgeable guide explains what sets each one apart. The small group keeps it intimate, the countryside setting makes it feel like a genuine local ritual rather than a tourist stop, and you leave with a real sense of why Chianti is one of Italy's most revered wine regions.
If our pick doesn't fit
A more affordable guided winery visit in the hills with meaningful savings, though it carries fewer reviews than the top pick.
Pairs a vintage scooter ride through Tuscan countryside with tastings and lunch, a full-day outing rather than an afternoon tasting stop.
