Wine tasting: farmhouses, holiday houses and villas with wine tours and tastings

Info and Description

Tuscany is the beating heart of Italian wine tourism, and experiencing a guided wine tasting at a Tuscan farmhouse is the best way to immerse yourself in the region's rich winemaking tradition. From the rolling hills of Chianti Classico, renowned for its centuries-old vineyards, to the picturesque Val d’Orcia, every corner of this region tells a story of passion, culture, and unique flavors.

Farm stays in Tuscany are much more than just accommodations—they offer the chance to discover the local area and its exceptional food and wine. Staying at an agriturismo with wine tasting means connecting directly with producers, learning the secrets of winemaking, and savoring the authenticity of prestigious labels such as Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and Vernaccia di San Gimignano.

Guided Tastings: An Unforgettable Experience

A wine tasting in Tuscany is a true sensory journey, allowing you to sample local wines paired with traditional products like pecorino cheese, artisanal cured meats, and extra virgin olive oil. Guided tastings are led by expert sommeliers or the agriturismo owners themselves, who will walk you through the different labels, explaining the characteristics of the grape varieties, production methods, and ideal pairings with classic Tuscan dishes.

Some of the most popular experiences include:

• Chianti Classico Tasting at an Agriturismo: Discover the bold and fruity flavors of Chianti Classico, a symbol of Tuscan winemaking, crafted from the finest Sangiovese grapes.

Beyond Wine Tasting

In addition to tastings, many farmhouses offer guided vineyard tours, where you can learn the secrets of the harvest, or relax by the pool with views of the Tuscan hills. You can also enjoy cooking classes, horseback rides through the vineyards and tours of historic cellars, making your stay a perfect mix of relaxation and indulgence.
