Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Fattoria di Luiano, Via di Luiano 32, 50026 Mercatale di Val di Pesa, San Casciano in Val di Pesa Italy
Luiano has been producing wine and olive oil since the 9th century. The estate has belonged to famous families from Florence, including the Strozzi. In 1959 the Palombo family took the ownership of the business and abandoned the mixed agricultural system. Their focus on cultivating solely vines helped them achieve wine of the highest quality. Sangiovese grape represents the largest portion of grape variety planted on their territory. The long-lasting tradition of winemaking is attested by ancient cellars built during the Renaissance. Here you will tour the property, vineyard and wine cellars in which vinification takes place and wines are displayed. Afterwards, you will enjoy a Chianti-based wine tasting with a view.

Stop At: Cennatoio Inter Vineas, via San Leolino, 35, 50022 Panzano In Chianti FI, Italy
Enjoy a guided tour of the winery by the owner himself, whose passion is felt in every wine produced. The commercial farm has been run by the same family since 1970 and is a certified organic farm. It is assumed that a long time ago the property used to be owned by Guido Cavalcanti, a famous Italian poet. The terroir of the vineyards is stony, challenging and exposed to the south, which makes it suitable for varieties like Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Located in Panzano, the heart of Chianti Classico, this winery will offer you more than a wine tasting. Here you will enjoy a 3-course lunch prepared by the family who runs the property. In the production of the dishes, only fresh km 0 ingredients are used. Lunch is served in a relaxing and exclusive ambiance in the family’s house, that best describes the Tuscan countryside.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Famiglia Nunzi Conti – Tenuta Villa Barberino, Via di Villa Barberino, 50026 San Casciano in Val di pesa FI, Italy
The last winery of the day has a vibrant history. It is a family-run winery that first started its production in 2012, which can be perceived in the lively character specific to young wines. But the history of the estate dates back to the end of the 1800s, when the founder Gualtiero managed to buy the first vineyards in Mercatale Val di Pesa. Upon his death, one of his sons came with a new vision, planted new vineyards, bought new land and a fifteenth-century villa, which became the centerpiece of the property.
The estate is located in the area of Chianti Classico Fiorentino and comprises vineyards, olive groves and forests. The varieties of grapes are typical of the territory, such as Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo but also international varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine cellars used in the 1400s were renovated to meet the needs of modern winemaking. In addition, a barn dating back to the 18th century has been restructured to serve as a wine cellar.
