Private daytrip to Siena & Chianti wine country, with wine tasting from Florence
Best for: Travelers who want a private custom day with wine tasting and time in Siena
This private day trip is built for travelers who want a tailored schedule rather than a fixed group route. The day starts in Florence and includes Greve in Chianti, a scenic drive through the wine road, and a guided visit to one Tuscan winery with wine and olive oil tasting. It then continues to Siena, where the driver drops you near the cathedral area and the central square. Lunch is not included, and the Siena visit is not a guided tour, so this works well if you want a comfortable private transfer day with some structure but room to choose your own pace.

Private Day Tour from Florence to Pisa, Chianti and San Gimignano
Best for: Travelers who want a private countryside day that adds iconic Tuscan towns and a scenic return drive
This private day tour is the broadest itinerary of the three, combining Tuscany countryside travel with several well-known stops. The route explicitly includes Pisa and San Gimignano, and the itinerary also mentions Piazzale Michelangelo on the return to Florence. One stop may include a cellar visit and an optional lunch with wine tasting, but lunch, alcoholic beverages, and some entrance items are not included. Because the day covers more places, it suits travelers who want variety and are happy to spend the day moving between sightseeing, scenic drives, and optional tasting time.
A varied route with Chianti, Pisa, and San Gimignano
- Private driver and private transportation
- Multiple destination styles in one day
- Bottled water is included

Exclusive Private Chianti Classico Experience from Florence
Best for: Travelers who want a winery-centered day with a specialist guide and a confirmed lunch
This private experience is the most focused choice for travelers who want to spend the day on Chianti Classico wine culture. It includes pickup from Florence, three family-run or boutique winery visits, wine tastings, and a certified sommelier-guide for the full day. The itinerary also confirms a three-course Tuscan lunch and an explanation of food and wine pairing. Compared with the other two options, this one has the least sightseeing variety outside wine country and the strongest emphasis on guided winery visits. It is a good fit if your main goal is to learn about wine production and taste multiple wineries in one day.
A fully wine-centered Chianti Classico day
- Certified sommelier/guide stays with you all day
- Visit of three boutique wineries is confirmed
- Three-course Tuscan lunch is included
How to choose a Chianti itinerary style
If you want the widest mix of scenery and cities, choose the itinerary with the most stops outside wine country. If you prefer a slower, more focused day, the winery-centered option offers the clearest private wine experience.
