Greve in Chianti: The gateway to Wine Country
The first stop on our Florence to Rome via Chianti tour is Greve, the vibrant capital of the region.
- Piazza Matteotti: This unique triangular main square is the heart of the town. Enclosed by picturesque arcades, it houses historic artisan shops, wine bars, and specialty stores where you can breathe in the authentic Tuscan atmosphere.
- A Hub of Tradition: Greve is the perfect place to soak in the local culture, browse through bustling markets, and discover why this town has been the principal market for the surrounding castles for centuries.
Montefioralle: A Medieval Dream
Just a few minutes from Greve, we visit Montefioralle, officially cited as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy (I Borghi più belli d’Italia). This walled medieval hamlet, with its narrow cobblestone streets and stone houses adorned with flowers, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards and olive groves.
The Legend of the Gallo Nero (Black Rooster)
As you travel through the Chianti hills, you will notice the Black Rooster symbol on every bottle. This icon dates back to a 14th-century legendary rivalry between Florence and Siena. To settle their borders, both cities sent a horseman at dawn signaled by a rooster’s crow. Florence chose a black rooster and kept it hungry so it would crow earlier, giving their rider a head start. Today, the Gallo Nero remains a global mark of authenticity, quality, and Florentine pride.
The ultimate Food & Wine experience
Chianti wine is celebrated for its vibrant ruby-red color and balanced flavors of cherry and plum. No Tuscany wine tour is complete without a dedicated tasting.
- Bespoke Winery Visit: We can organize an exclusive food and wine experience in a stunning winery setting. You will learn about the Sangiovese grape, explore the cellars, and enjoy a professional tasting paired with local specialties like pecorino cheese and cold cuts.
- Gourmet Lunch: If you wish, we can book a table at a traditional trattoria where you can sample “Pici” pasta or wild boar, perfectly paired with a glass of Chianti Classico.
Destination: Rome
After a day spent among rolling hills and world-class vineyards, your driver will take you directly to your hotel or private address in Rome. You will arrive refreshed, having optimized your travel time by experiencing the very best of Tuscany.
