Tuscany Wine Tours Florence an Introduction
Hello! My name’s Sergio, I’ve been doing wine tours since 2005, and welcome to my latest website “Tuscany Wine Tours Florence.” I’ve lived in Tuscany most of my life, but during my childhood my family immigrated to England where I remained till my early twenties. Hence we will converse in perfect English. I came back to Tuscany in 1980 and have lived here ever since. 
With me you’ll tour the countryside from a local’s point of view, with insights you just won’t find in guide books. I’ll introduce you to my favorite Tuscan wines, and I’ll provide you with a wealth of information on how best they are enjoyed. I’m a registered chauffeur service, with access to restricted traffic areas. All tours are strictly private and pick up is directly from your accommodation.
Day Tour of Tuscany with Wine Tasting
This is a great tour if you only have a casual interest in wine but would still like to enjoy the iconic Tuscan countryside, or if you would simply prefer to spend a little less. Tuscany wine tours Florence is about private travel, so the price point is a little higher than a group tour, but you won’t be sharing the van or your guide with other people. However for four or more participants, the fee equals or betters those for group tours. Why do a group tour when you can have the comfort and flexibility of a vehicle and driver all for yourselves? The day is a little less focused on wine with respect to my wine enthusiast’s tour, however we still have two winery visits with tasting of Chianti and Super Tuscan wines. Departs directly from your accommodation in Florence: other locations on request.
Wine Lover’s Premium Tuscany Tour
If you’re a wine lover or just beginning to fall in love, this is the tour for you. It’s my top offering with sit down tastings at two family wineries, and includes guided tours of the cellars. We also have a relaxed drive through the gorgeous Tuscan countryside with ample time for your holiday photos. I’ve been doing wine tours for twelve years, and we’ll be visiting the estates my clients have most enjoyed during this time. Two very different situations (a larger estate and a tiny boutiques winery) to give you a true feel of the Chianti region and it’s wines. A Tuscan light lunch is included and pick up is directly from your accommodation in Florence. The day is for all those who enjoy wine, no expertise is needed; the focus is on enjoyment not technicalities.
Home Cooked Tuscan Lunch & Wine Tasting
As a tourist you’re often “stuck” with restaurant meals, though in Italy that’s rarely a bad thing, but how do the locals eat at home? Well, here’s your opportunity to find out. Today we visit a small family winery where the ladies of the estate will prepare a genuine home cooked Tuscan lunch. To make it even more interesting the views are beautiful, and they produce the best in traditional Chianti wines which will be served during the meal. We also make numerous stops to admire the gorgeous Tuscan countryside, and visit a second winery. Tuscany wine tours Florence offers you the comfort of being picked up directly from your apartment (not a meeting point).
Florence Guided Tour & Wine Tasting
A touch of culture as we learn about the first city in the world for the history of art and architecture, but Tuscany Wine Tours Florence is a site about wine, so lovers of said beverage will be contented…of course! The morning will be dedicated to a driving/walking tour of Florence with Maurizio Bellini who is a local born “boy,” and authorized guide.

Come Wine Blending in Tuscany
