Gourmet safari in Tuscany: chianti private tour

Set off on an unforgettable culinary adventure with the Gourmet Safari tour in Tuscany created by Artviva, Florence’s leading boutique travel company.

The journey begins with a scenic drive through the rolling Chianti hills, where vineyards, olive groves and medieval villages frame your day. You will travel in the comfort of a private vehicle with a professional driver-guide, exploring not only renowned wineries but also hidden gastronomic gems that make Tuscany a world-class food and wine destination.

The tour includes exclusive visits to wineries and artisanal producers. You will taste renowned Chianti Classico wines, sample vintages straight from the barrel and be guided by expert winemakers who reveal the secrets of Tuscan winemaking. You will also discover the noble flavors of extra virgin olive oil with tastings at historic estates, learning how the land and climate shape these outstanding products.

Throughout the day, you will enjoy gourmet tastings celebrating Tuscany’s culinary diversity: artisanal cheeses, hand-sliced cured meats, freshly baked bread and seasonal specialties.

The highlight will be a relaxed lunch at a countryside estate, paired with carefully selected wines. A genuine farm-to-table menu prepared with fresh local ingredients will reflect the true essence of Tuscan cuisine. Beyond food and wine, your guide will enrich the experience with stories of Chianti’s history, from its Etruscan roots to Renaissance nobility, and the traditions that keep the region’s gastronomic heritage alive today.
