A Day in Tuscany: Nature, Wine & Tradition
Escape the city and step into the heart of Tuscany with a guided hike through scenic vineyards and peaceful olive groves. This unforgettable experience invites you to slow down, breathe in the fresh countryside air, and connect with the land in a meaningful way. 

Your adventure begins as your private driver collects you from your accomodation, whisking you away to the heart of the Chianti Classico region. Your destination is the renowned Castello Monterinaldi Winery, a historic estate dating back to 1010 AD. Named after Count Gottifredo, the castle has endured centuries of conflict, from medieval battles to World War II, yet still stands proudly as the heart of the estate. Meet your expert local guide and immerse yourself in the peace of the countryside and the soul of Tuscany. As you walk along quiet trails, your local guide will share stories, history, and insights into the region’s traditions and natural beauty. 

After the hike, you'll enjoy a wine tour and tasting at Castello Monterinaldi Winery’s wine cellar, where you’ll learn about age-old winemaking techniques and taste a selection of local wines. You’ll learn how sustainability goes hand-in-hand with tradition at this estate: grapes are fermented and aged in steel, vitrified concrete, and French oak barrels, preserving the authentic profile of Chianti Classico while embracing modern methods that elevate quality. Inspired by their emblem, the turtle, Monterinaldi’s approach is one of thoughtful, steady progress, rooted in the belief that meaningful wine comes from deep respect for nature, heritage, and time.

Following the tour, you'll be treated to a traditional lunch highlighting the estate's rich history and commitment to sustainability. Indulge in a full Tuscan lunch at the 19th-century Villa Pesanella where meals are thoughtfully paired with Monterinaldi's organic wines. Offering a comprehensive taste of local flavors and the beautiful backdrop of the estate's picturesque surroundings, you’ll get the chance to embrace the philosophy of slow, intentional growth that Castello Monterinaldi proudly represents.

After the lunch concludes, your driver will escort you back to your accomodation. As you make your way back to Florence, you’ll have time to reflect on Tuscany’s nature, history in wine production, and local charm. This is more than just a day trip, it's a deep dive into the soul of Tuscany, where every step, sip, and bite tells a story.
