Tuscany Wine Tasting & Snack Experience in Barberino Tavarnelle

Savor the flavors of Tuscany!

Embark on an immersive journey into the heart of Chianti Classico with a guided tour of the vineyards, olive groves, and wine cellar. This experience offers a comprehensive look at the complete winemaking process, from grape to bottle, and provides fascinating insights into the history, traditions, and regulations that define the Chianti Classico DOCG appellation. As you walk through the estate, you’ll learn about the region’s unique terroir, viticultural practices, and the meticulous care that goes into producing exceptional wines and olive oil. Your guide will share the story behind each step — harvesting, fermentation, aging, and bottling — offering a true behind-the-scenes look into Tuscan wine craftsmanship. These wines will be thoughtfully paired with a selection of traditional Tuscan products, including regional cheeses, artisanal cured meats (such as ham and salami), and the estate-produced Extra Virgin Olive Oil served on fresh Tuscan bread. To conclude this rich sensory experience, indulge in a glass of Vin Santo, the iconic Tuscan dessert wine, served with classic cantucci (almond biscotti), offering a perfect sweet finish.

Highlights

A real behind-the-scenes look. Walking the vineyards, olive groves and cellar, with every step of winemaking explained, goes far beyond a tasting-room pour.

A traditional sweet finish. Vin Santo with cantucci offers an authentic close to the tasting, exactly as it’s done locally.

Deep appellation knowledge. Past guests consistently praise the detailed, approachable explanation of Chianti versus Chianti Classico and the DOCG regulations.
