Highlights
- Greve in Chianti - Experience the unforgettable town of Greve in Chianti, located in the heart of the Chianti Classico wine region, and home of the famous explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. An unmissable visit is also due at the ancient and famous Falorni butcher shop, where you will have the opportunity to taste exceptional Tuscan snacks made with local cold cuts and cheeses!
- Castello di Montefioralle - Montefioralle is truly a treasure of Tuscany - not to be missed. Originally a castle in the Middle Ages, with its 79 inhabitants, it is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Absolutely worth a visit, take time for a stroll and take some photos in its iconic, narrow stone streets.
- Azienda Agricola Mauricio Brogioni Winery - Here you will embark on your first wine tasting! You will be hosted by a small producer of premium, high-quality wines. The production is fully manual, from the vineyard to the wine cellar. The Chianti Classico wine is produced in an organic-certified estate. In short, this is a unique experience to taste exceptional, high-quality wine!
- Panzano in Chianti - A visit in the picturesque Panzano is a must! As you take a few steps to reach Panzano’s medieval 11th century tower, you are truly immersed in another time. Enclosed by its fortified walls, you feel as if you’re returning to the Middle Ages. Take breathtaking pictures of the extraordinary southern valley, where hundreds of plots of land are planted with Sangiovese vines.
- Tenuta Casanova - On your last stop, it’s time for a phenomenal farm-to-table lunch and wine tasting! You will be hosted at a farm with fully organic and locally-produced products, with a wine explanation accompanying your meal. During lunch you will taste Extra Vergin olive oil, the superb Chianti Classico and the new trends of the Super Tuscan wine, white wines, dishes prepared with balsamic vinegar, and dessert wines! Animals, vineyards and olive trees will be fundamental factors in making this traditional Tuscan setting unforgettable! It will be a truly special experience for you and your private group to remember throughout the years.

Love Allesandro!!! - We had a great day with Allesandro - he was a wonderful guide with a lot of information and a great personality! All of the places we stopped were beautiful. We covered a lot of ground, and ended with a beautiful sunset at Piazzale Michelangelo
The only thing we did not particularly like was the lunch/wine we had. Others there seemed to enjoy it, but it was not to our tastes.
But highly recommend charming Allesandro!

Fabulous day in Tuscany!! Don’t look any further - BOOK with Alessandro!! 5-star service! - We had an absolutely amazing day wine tasting, eating and enjoying the sights of Tuscany. Alessandro (Alex) is so friendly, accommodating, and made sure all five of us (4 adults and one 11 y/o) had a great time. He is so up beat, knowledgeable, funny, the best tour guide, and of course best driver!
1-2 months prior to our tour, I started emailing back and forth with Alex. Going through various places to visit, itineraries, etc. He was super helpful and so patient with me (and my endless questions)!
If you’re comparing companies for a tour, stop looking elsewhere. Make it easy on yourself and Book with Alessandro!! You will not be disappointed.

Great Tour with Alessandro and Unique Tuscany Private Tours - We had a terrific experience with Alessandro on a private full day tour of the Chianti Region. Alessandro picked us up at our hotel in a new Mercedes van and took us through the region stopping at multiple locations giving us exposure to more than just the wineries, but also the history of the region and the towns. We did stop at two wineries, one for lunch and wine pairing, which was spectacular and then a second winery that Alessandro arranged for us that had a gorgeous view of the landscape. He then took us back to our hotel. We had a full day and it was certainly a hilight of our trip to Italy.
If you are looking for a great private tour, book Alessandro and Unique Tuscany; he is knowledgeable, easy to talk to and allows you the flexibility on your tour. Highly Recommend

Best Day! - Alessandro was amazing. We emailed prior to arrival, so he planned out a wonderful day for us. We got to see two beautiful wineries, medieval villages, and learned some interesting history. The car was clean and extremely comfortable. We had an issue with where we were staying and Alessandro let us bring our luggage for the day. We really appreciated Alessandro's flexibility and knowledge of Tuscany.
After the day, Alessandro even gave us recommendations for restaurants by our Airbnb. We went to several and all were amazing :).
I spent 14 days in Italy and can say that this was a major highlight of the trip. You will not regret spending a day with Alessandro!

Outstanding tour of Chianti + tastings - Our full day tour of the Chianti region with Alessandro was outstanding! We loved this tour because we designed it with Alessandro's help/input. Amazing wine/olive oil/balsamic tasting that he arranged. He was informative, knowledgeable and patient (we asked lots of questions). He's friendly, a safe driver, and has a comfortable Mercedes van. Alessandro's runs his own business, not part of a large impersonal company. We highly recommend and definitely would hire Alessandro again!
