Your private Mercedes driver meets you at your hotel, villa or apartment — wherever you are staying in Tuscany. No shared minibus, no fixed departure point, no group of strangers with different ideas about how to spend the day. The wineries are confirmed in advance, the timing agreed, the route planned. When you step into the vehicle, everything is already in place.

The drive into wine country is part of the experience. From Florence, the road climbs south through the Chianti Classico — the historic heartland of Tuscan wine, a territory of old estates, medieval towers and vine rows that have been producing wine since before the Renaissance. The landscape changes quickly once you leave the city: cypresses, white gravel roads, stone farmhouses half-hidden in the hillside. By the time you reach the first winery, you are already somewhere else entirely.

In the Chianti hills, we work with estates that receive private guests properly — among them Poggio Amorelli — Famiglia Mazzarrini, a family estate producing outstanding Chianti Classico, and Casa Emma, a boutique winery in the heart of the Classico zone. For those who want a more iconic name, Antinori nel Chianti Classico offers a world-class cellar experience at one of Italy's most celebrated estates. Further south, Castello di Banfi in Montalcino is one of the great names in Brunello — an extraordinary estate for those who want to venture beyond Chianti.

For a completely different experience, the hills around Montecarlo between Pisa and Lucca produce some of the most underrated white wines in Tuscany — almost unknown outside the region. Fattoria del Buonamico in Montecarlo and Fattoria di Fubbiano near Lucca are two estates worth knowing — family-run, quietly exceptional, and entirely off the tourist route. On the Maremma coast, Ornellaia is one of Italy's most celebrated Super Tuscan estates — a longer day but one of the finest wine experiences in the country.

The combination is yours to choose — or yours to ask us to suggest. Two estates in the same zone for comparison, or two completely different appellations. A morning tasting and afternoon lunch at a winery table, or two shorter visits with a village stop between them. The day is yours, and your driver knows exactly how to make it work.
