TUSCANY WINE TOURS
A private tour for lovers of fine wine and great food
TAKE A PRIVATE LUXURY WINE TOUR TO
TUSCANY ON YOUR OWN SCHEDULE
Fine Vintage offers a spectacular 3-day tour of Tuscany to visit a selection of the most famous wineries. Starting in Florence and ending in Siena, you can book this as a private tour, just for your group, which can be as small as 2 people or a maximum of 6. The chauffeur and winery hosts will graciously guide you.
Every morning you will be picked up by your chauffeur in a luxury vehicle at 10 a.m. Pick-up is at a hotel or Airbnb of your choice. Every evening you will be dropped off at your accommodation by 7 p.m.
On the first day, your driver will pick you up at your hotel of choice in Florence and whisk you off to the rolling hills of Chianti Classico. Your day includes private visits to two boutique wineries as well as a long, savory Tuscan lunch where the wonderful wines will flow. Fontodi, Castello di Monsanto, Badia al Coltibuono, and Quercia al Poggio are among the estates that typically welcome us. After lunch, your chauffeur will take you to your accommodation of choice in Siena.
Departing from Siena on the second day you will visit the lovely, scenic town of Montepulciano where your day begins with a visit to a local pecorino cheese factory. Two more amazing estates and a decadent lunch are on the agenda for the rest of the day. Avignonesi, La Braccesca Antinori, Poliziano, and Contucci are favorite visits that we often include in our itinerary. You will return to your Siena hotel that evening by 6pm for another free night to explore the shops and restaurants of this beautiful city.
The third and final day is an exploration of Montalcino, one of the prettiest medieval hilltop towns you could ever see. Magnificent Brunellos and another fabulous lunch await you at such estates as Argiano, Castelgiocondo Frescobaldi, Sesti, and Podere le Ripi. After your two visits, long lunch, and free time exploring the lanes of Montalcino, your personal driver will drop you off at your hotel in Siena by 7 p.m.
The price is approximately $3,500USD per person for groups of 4-6 people and and approximately $5,000USD per person for groups of 2-3. The price includes your transport during the tour, all winery visits and tastings, a gourmet lunch every day with excellent wines, all taxes, and gratuities. A final price per person will be given to you once your customized tour is finalized, as it depends on the number of people in your group. Payment is taken in full once you approve the final itinerary, which we have customized for you.
When you go on a Fine Vintage wine tour you get VIP treatment at wineries. You will have access to places and people that others can’t. It’s a luxurious experience, and certainly one for the bucket list.
I invite you to join us.

YOU BOOK YOUR OWN ACCOMMODATION
When we send you the proposed itinerary for your tour, we include recommendations on where to stay. We suggest 4 different hotels at varying budgets, along with links to their websites and advice on how to book directly at the best rates. However, you are free to stay anywhere you wish (including Airbnb) so long as it is in the city of Florence the night before your tour starts and in the city of Siena for nights 1 to 3 of the tour.
You must inform us of the name and address of your accommodation on your final booking form so we can inform the chauffeur.

TIMING
We run private tours 12 months of the year. The tours must take place on weekdays. Our 3-day tour must start on either a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
Anytime is a great time to visit Tuscany, including the winter months. The weather is ideal in May-June and September-October. Generally, we would recommend avoiding August as many Italians take summer holidays, but we still run private tours in August if that is what works for your schedule.
Please try to avoid the following Italian holidays as most wineries are closed:
January 1st, Epiphany (January 5th 2024/January 6th 2025), Easter Monday (April 1st 2024/April 21st 2025), April 25th , May 1st, Republic Day (June 3rd 2024/June 2nd 2025), August 15th, November 1st, Immaculate Conception (December 9th 2024/December 8th 2025), December 25th & 26th.
