Chianti Winery + Brolio Castle Private Tour

Tour Description

Embark on an unforgettable Chianti adventure with a private car departure from our office, where you’ll be greeted by your expert local guide and driver in an exclusive vehicle. Your journey begins at Tenuta Le Lame, a historic family-run winery nestled in the lush hills of Chianti, within the ancient village of Lame. This winery, with roots that trace back to the time of the Etruscans, offers an authentic experience deeply connected to the region’s rich history. The Zanobini family, owners of the estate, have passed down their winemaking traditions through generations, with a focus on producing Chianti Classico wines that honor their heritage. As you tour the winery, your guide will share captivating stories of the land and its rich past, from its strategic position during the Second World War to the ancient bridge over the Pesa River, which was once a vital Etruscan crossing. The family’s commitment to quality is reflected in their small-scale production of around 10,000 bottles per year, ensuring each wine is crafted with passion and precision. With the focus on quality over quantity, Tenuta Le Lame continues to produce some of the most exceptional wines in the Chianti region, allowing you to taste the tradition and craftsmanship in every glass.

Next, enjoy a traditional Tuscan lunch at “La Cantinetta di Rignana”, a charming restaurant nestled between Tenuta Le Lame and Brolio Castle. Here, you’ll savor local specialties such as cured meats, cheeses, Tuscan crostini, extra virgin olive oil, and homemade pasta or meat dishes, all paired with wines from the region that complement the rich, authentic flavors of Tuscany. The setting is as delightful as the food itself, with views over the rolling hills and vineyards that make this region so iconic.

The final stop on your tour is Brolio Castle, where you’ll have a private tour of the castle and its vineyards, steeped in history as the Barone Ricasoli family has been producing exceptional wines since the 12th century. The Ricasoli family’s legacy as pioneers of Chianti production is well-known, and today their wines are considered some of the finest in the world. Experience exclusive wine tastings featuring a selection of premium wines, gaining insights into the winemaking process that combines both modern techniques and centuries-old traditions. The castle itself is a marvel, offering stunning views of the Chianti countryside and a rich historical backdrop that enhances your experience.

Throughout the day, you’ll be immersed in the culture, history, and flavors of Tuscany, with each stop offering a deeper understanding of the region’s storied past and rich agricultural traditions. This Chianti tour is an immersive journey that connects you to the land’s history, the artistry of winemaking, and the timeless tradition of Tuscan hospitality. Explore the vineyards, taste the wines, and discover the stories of a family who have dedicated themselves to preserving the heritage of Chianti, all while indulging in the finest food and drink Tuscany has to offer. This is not just a tour; it’s a celebration of Tuscany’s unique heritage, its people, and its passions.

Worth the money

I had great experience a couple weeks ago with the purchase, Veronica texted me for time and meeting place one day ahead,
gave clear instructions when we met her, printed museum map for us,
and even gave us a free reduced-price ticket for our kid as she happened to have a spare one. Thank you!
