Day 01

Impruneta, Greve in Chianti, Montefioralle and Badia a Passignano

You will be picked up from Downtown Florence by your tour guide and travel through the picturesque village of Impruneta, well known for its high-quality extra virgin olive oil and famous terracotta, still produced as the ancestors did in the 15th century. Explore 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 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. Stop at Montefioralle, a true treasure of Tuscany that should not be missed. Originally a castle in the Middle Ages, and with just 79 inhabitants, it is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Take time for a stroll and some photos along its iconic narrow stone streets. Visit Azienda Agricola Brogioni Maurizio in Tuscany, where you will embark on your first wine tasting. You will be hosted by a small producer of premium, high-quality wines. Production is fully manual, from the vineyard to the wine cellar, and the Chianti Classico wine is produced on an organic-certified estate. In short, this is a unique experience to taste exceptional, high-quality wine. Make a stop to enjoy the view of the medieval borgo of Badia a Passignano. At the center of this protected area is the monastic complex of the Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo a Passignano, surrounded by beautiful cypresses. In addition to the historical and architectural importance of the Abbey, the area is also remarkable from a landscape point of view. You will find typical elements of the Chianti landscape: hills covered by rows of vineyards, alternating with olive groves and woods. At the end of the tour, you will be dropped back in Florence.
