To explore the world of Antinori Chianti Classico wines, take a half-day wine trip from Florence.
Tinaia Tour Experience provides an introduction to the Marchesi Antinori world along with a tour of the winery's cellars and tastings of three of its iconic wines.
With the assistance of your private driver, you can go to the Antinori Chianti Classico winery from Florence.
There, you can have a guided tour to learn more about the family's history, observe the wine-making process, and take in the winery's avant-garde design.
A guided sampling of three of the company's wines marks the tour's conclusion.
The visit is meant to be a voyage into the world of wine and into the history of the Antinori family, which is briefly depicted in Cinzia Th. Torrini's short film " The Antinori: Vintners since 1385" dedicated to the family.
The tour brings you into the winery from the outside and provides breathtaking views of the large spiral staircase, the vineyards that cover the winery's roof, and the process of manufacturing and aging wine.
You will sample some of the estate's most renowned wines, including Villa Antinori Pinot Bianco Toscana IGT, Villa Antinori Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva, and Cont'Ugo Bolgheri DOC, at the conclusion of the tour.
Wines might change depending on the season and what's available. There are other visitors present, and the visit lasts about an hour and a half.
Return to Florence with your personal driver after the trip.

F.A.Q.
- Is Chianti a Super Tuscan wine?
No, Chianti is not a Super Tuscan wine. Chianti is a traditional Italian wine produced primarily in the Chianti region of Tuscany, Italy. It is typically made from Sangiovese grapes, along with other authorized grape varieties such as Canaiolo, Colorino, and others. Chianti has its own set of regulations and production requirements governed by the DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) designation.
Super Tuscan wines, on the other hand, are a category of Tuscan wines that emerged in the late 20th century. They often break away from traditional Italian winemaking regulations by incorporating non-native grape varieties or using innovative winemaking techniques. Super Tuscans are known for their high quality and often command high prices in the market. Examples of Super Tuscan wines include Sassicaia, Ornellaia, and Tignanello.
