But wine tasting in Tuscany works a little differently, and <strong>almost everywhere you&#8217;ll need to book in advance<\/strong> \u2014 otherwise you simply won&#8217;t get in. Anyone who shows up on the off chance usually ends up in a touristy enoteca on the town square, which is fine, but you&#8217;ll miss out on the real experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ll help you get to grips with the <strong>difference between a cantina and an enoteca<\/strong>, point you to specific places that are worth it, and we&#8217;ll also cover one thing a lot of people underestimate \u2014 <strong>drinking and driving<\/strong>.

Three different things<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you dive into planning your trip, it&#8217;s worth getting clear on the Italian terminology. The local names <strong>often get confused and mean completely different experiences<\/strong>, so you know exactly what you&#8217;re getting into. Italian wine culture is very specific and runs on different rules than we&#8217;re used to elsewhere. Take a look at this simple overview that will <strong>make it easier to navigate what&#8217;s on offer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Where you are<\/th><th>What it actually is<\/th><th>Booking needed<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody><tr><td><strong>Cantina<\/strong><\/td><td>The winery itself \u2014 a cellar tour and a guided tasting await you<\/td><td><strong>Almost always required<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Enoteca<\/strong><\/td><td>A town wine bar, tasting by the glass, often serving food too<\/td><td>Usually not needed<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Agriturismo with a vineyard<\/strong><\/td><td>Farm stay where you taste the estate&#8217;s own wine in the evening<\/td><td>Arranged as part of your stay<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A visit to a classic cantina will reliably take you an hour and a half to two hours \u2014 you&#8217;ll walk among the vines, hear about the winemaking, see historic and modern cellars, and finally enjoy a <strong>guided tasting<\/strong>, which is usually the real highlight of the whole program. That&#8217;s exactly why a <strong>reservation is needed<\/strong> here \u2014 these are working agricultural estates, and the staff can&#8217;t just drop their work in the fields to look after random passers-by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the tasting itself in a cantina, you&#8217;re usually served <strong>three to six different samples<\/strong>, along with neutral homemade bread, excellent local olive oil, and pieces of mature pecorino cheese. It&#8217;s all beautifully organised and, <strong>thanks to the small groups, you have plenty of room<\/strong> to ask anything you&#8217;re curious about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An enoteca, on the other hand, is essentially a <strong>specialist town wine bar<\/strong> that you&#8217;ll find in just about every Tuscan town, right on the main square. Here you can sit down at a table without any booking, order a glass of anything from the list, and add a plate of cheese or some olives.

Always keep in mind that <strong>the prices below are only a guide<\/strong> and wineries may change them over the course of the season. So always <strong>check the current amounts directly on their official website<\/strong>, where you&#8217;ll find the freshest info and can book your slot right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Winery and type of experience<\/th><th>What&#8217;s included<\/th><th>Approx. price<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody><tr><td><strong>Badia a Coltibuono<\/strong><\/td><td>Basic tour with a tasting of <strong>2 wines<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>from \u20ac10<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Badia a Coltibuono<\/strong><\/td><td>Romantic picnic right in the vineyards<\/td><td><strong>\u20ac65<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Castello di Brolio<\/strong><\/td><td>Classic tour, 2 hours, held in the morning<\/td><td><strong>\u20ac28<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Castello di Brolio<\/strong><\/td><td>Vineyard tour, 2 hours, Thursday afternoon<\/td><td><strong>\u20ac45<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Castello di Brolio<\/strong><\/td><td>Entry to the gardens and museum including a small tasting<\/td><td><strong>\u20ac8<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Antinori nel Chianti Classico<\/strong><\/td><td>Standard estate tour with a tasting<\/td><td><strong>from \u20ac35<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Biondi-Santi<\/strong><\/td><td>Premium and highly exclusive tastings<\/td><td><strong>from \u20ac100<\/strong> \u26a0\ufe0f<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Organised tours from Florence<\/strong><\/td><td>Half-day group tour with transport<\/td><td><strong>from \u20ac70<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Organised tours from Florence<\/strong><\/td><td>Private tour with your own driver<\/td><td><strong>up to \u20ac600<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for budget-friendly options, you&#8217;ll be pleased to know that <strong>basic tours start at a very reasonable \u20ac10<\/strong>. For this price you&#8217;ll usually get a shorter walk around the estate and a tasting of two samples, which is perfect for beginners. The happy middle ground then sits <strong>somewhere between \u20ac25 and \u20ac45<\/strong>, where you get a full two-hour excursion, a visit to historic cellars, and a richer tasting rounded off with local nibbles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s important to realise that <strong>at some places you pay everything upfront when you book<\/strong>, which is typical for the popular Badia a Coltibuono winery, for example. That way they know for sure you&#8217;ll actually turn up and won&#8217;t needlessly block spots for other visitors. At the most famous names, like the legendary Biondi-Santi in Montalcino, you&#8217;ll need to <strong>book anywhere from two to six months ahead<\/strong> \u2014 and you&#8217;ll pay \u20ac100 and up for this prestigious experience. On top of that, they won&#8217;t let ordinary mass tour operators in at all, which is how they guard their exclusivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;d rather not deal with transport and complicated planning, you can take an <strong>organised tour straight from Florence or Siena<\/strong>. Group minibus tours start at around \u20ac70 and usually include a visit to two wineries plus a light lunch. For more demanding travellers there are <strong>private tours with your own driver<\/strong> \u2014 these can cost up to \u20ac600, but you get maximum flexibility and total comfort without a single worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>TIP:<\/strong> Be very careful when planning a summer holiday, because in August and on public holidays many premium estates are closed entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8d928b6c975&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8d928b6c975\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1201\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-04.jpg\" alt=\"Landscape around Montalcino with vineyards\" class=\"wp-image-395188\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-04.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-04-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-04-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-04-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-04-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-04-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-04-1392x929.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Piotr Arnoldes \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tuscanys_wine_regions\"><\/span>Tuscany&#8217;s wine regions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuscany is vast, and each part has its own character, history, and the grape varieties that do best there. So you don&#8217;t get lost among all those bottles, I&#8217;ve put together an overview of the zones that are definitely worth your attention. Each region <strong>offers a slightly different atmosphere and set of flavours<\/strong>, so there&#8217;s genuinely something for everyone, whether you prefer light whites or heavy, age-worthy reds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Wine region<\/th><th>Main wine<\/th><th>What it&#8217;s known for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody><tr><td><strong>Chianti Classico<\/strong><\/td><td>Chianti Classico DOCG<\/td><td>Lies between Florence and Siena; its symbol is the <strong>gallo nero<\/strong> (black rooster)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Montalcino<\/strong><\/td><td>Brunello di Montalcino DOCG<\/td><td>Long-aged Sangiovese, the absolute <strong>top of the whole region<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Montepulciano<\/strong><\/td><td>Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG<\/td><td>Wows with its stunning historic cellars <strong>right beneath the town<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>San Gimignano<\/strong><\/td><td>Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG<\/td><td><strong>First Italian wine with a DOC (1966)<\/strong>, the only Tuscan white with DOCG<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Bolgheri<\/strong><\/td><td>Super Tuscans<\/td><td>Bordeaux varieties, the famous <strong>iconic cypress avenue<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Maremma<\/strong><\/td><td>Morellino di Scansano<\/td><td>The far south, more affordable and altogether <strong>less touristy<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Elba<\/strong><\/td><td>Aleatico Passito DOCG<\/td><td>Sweet wine, the <strong>first DOCG<\/strong> of the whole Tuscan Archipelago<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it&#8217;s your first time in Italy for this, <strong>I&#8217;d recommend starting with the classic: Chianti Classico<\/strong>, which stretches across the gorgeously rolling countryside between Florence and Siena. You&#8217;ll spot it reliably by the fact that every certified bottle carries the black rooster on its neck, the historic symbol of the area. For true connoisseurs looking for the most complex flavours, on the other hand, it&#8217;s an absolute must to <strong>head further south to the area around Montalcino<\/strong>. The famous Brunello there ages for many years in enormous barrels and ranks among the very best wines you can taste anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White wine lovers should definitely not miss the area around San Gimignano, home to the wonderful Vernaccia. It&#8217;s a huge rarity, because it&#8217;s <strong>historically the very first Italian wine to earn the prestigious DOC designation, back in 1966<\/strong>, and to this day it&#8217;s the only Tuscan white with the highest DOCG status. If you&#8217;re after something more modern and daring, on the other hand, <strong>head west towards the coast to the Bolgheri area<\/strong>, which made its name with the so-called Super Tuscan wines produced from French Bordeaux varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For travellers on a tighter budget, the <strong>southern Maremma region is an absolutely fantastic choice<\/strong>. It&#8217;s nowhere near as busy with tourists as central Tuscany, you&#8217;ll find beautiful wild nature here, and the local Morellino di Scansano wine will delight you not only with great taste but with a very friendly price tag too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>TIP:<\/strong> Always plan your visits around where exactly you&#8217;ve got your accommodation. Distances in Tuscany can look small on the map, but the winding country roads often make the journey a lot longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8d928b6cfb2&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8d928b6cfb2\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1332\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-05.jpg\" alt=\"Rows of vines in the heart of Chianti Classico\" class=\"wp-image-395189\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-05.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-05-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-05-700x518.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-05-768x568.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-05-1536x1137.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-05-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-05-696x515.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-05-1392x1030.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Adbar \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_wineries_worth_visiting_in_Tuscany\"><\/span>11 wineries worth visiting in Tuscany<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finding your way among thousands of producers can be a real headache, so I&#8217;ve picked places that have great ratings and a reputation for being worth the trip.

It&#8217;s an estate that impresses from the gate onwards, whether it&#8217;s the castle itself, the cellars, or the views over the surrounding countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside the gorgeous views of the rolling landscape, it offers several types of tour to suit every visitor. The <strong>basic Classic tour runs in the morning and costs \u20ac28<\/strong>, while the Thursday afternoon Vineyard tour comes to \u20ac45. On these tours you&#8217;ll go straight into the historic cellars and find out exactly how the best wine is made from the Sangiovese grape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those of you who are in a hurry and don&#8217;t have time for a full guided tour, there&#8217;s a great option of <strong>entry to the gardens and museum with a small tasting for just \u20ac8<\/strong>. I&#8217;d definitely recommend at least walking around the outdoor areas, because that view of endless rows of vines and the surrounding hills really is worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>TIP:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t forget to book your tour well in advance on their official website, because capacity tends to fill up very quickly in high season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8d928b6d9ba&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8d928b6d9ba\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-07.jpg\" alt=\"Chianti Classico hills between Florence and Siena\" class=\"wp-image-395192\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-07.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-07-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-07-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-07-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-07-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-07-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-07-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: kay de vries \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Antinori_nel_Chianti_Classico\"><\/span>2.

You&#8217;ll find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antinori.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Antinori<\/a> winery in the San Casciano area, and with a <strong>rating of 4.5 from more than 2,300 reviews<\/strong> it ranks among the most sought-after destinations in the whole region. It&#8217;s a huge contrast to the old stone farms you&#8217;re used to in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside you&#8217;ll find a winery with gravity-fed grape processing, a modern art collection, and a rooftop restaurant with a view that draws some visitors here with no interest in wine whatsoever. The <strong>standard estate tour with a tasting starts from \u20ac35<\/strong>, and given the enormous popularity of this place, I warmly recommend <strong>not leaving your booking to the last minute<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tasting itself usually takes place <strong>in glass-walled rooms<\/strong> that seem to float above the barrels of maturing wine.

It&#8217;s a great school for anyone who wants to get to grips with the secrets of premium wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>TIP:<\/strong> The estate is also home to a wonderful museum of glass and bottle history, which you definitely shouldn&#8217;t skip \u2014 entry is often part of the tour route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8d928b6ef8e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8d928b6ef8e\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1284\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-11.jpg\" alt=\"The landscape around Greve in Chianti\" class=\"wp-image-395197\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-11.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-11-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-11-700x499.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-11-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-11-1536x1096.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-11-696x496.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-11-1392x993.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Rob &amp; Lisa Meehan \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Azienda_Agricola_Podere_Bucine\"><\/span>6.

It holds <strong>the highest rating in our entire selection \u2014 a full 5.0 stars<\/strong> based on more than 450 reviews. That alone speaks to exceptional quality and huge guest satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You won&#8217;t find any mass tourism here \u2014 instead, a <strong>very personal approach and the owners&#8217; full attention<\/strong>, and they&#8217;ll happily look after you with a smile. It&#8217;s exactly at these intimate places that you often <strong>learn the most interesting details of a farmer&#8217;s everyday life<\/strong> and taste wines they&#8217;ve poured their whole heart into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s more, you&#8217;re in the very heart of the <strong>Chianti Classico region<\/strong>, which you can tell from the fact that every certified bottle from this zone carries the <strong>black rooster symbol<\/strong> on its neck, the so-called gallo nero.

It&#8217;s exactly the place to go when you <strong>want a calmer atmosphere far from the biggest crowds<\/strong> and want to enjoy honest Tuscan craftsmanship in the gorgeous setting of an old brickworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rooms here have a very rustic, authentic feel that <strong>contrasts beautifully with the more modern super-wineries<\/strong> like Antinori. The cellar tours are led very engagingly, and the guides will explain the whole process of ageing wine in traditional wooden barrels as well as modern stainless-steel tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I recommend planning your trip here ideally <strong>in the spring months<\/strong> or <strong>at the start of autumn<\/strong>, when the surrounding countryside is beautifully coloured and you can savour that easy pace to the full. Ask the staff which vintages still need time \u2014 they&#8217;ll happily advise you on what to open right away and what to tuck away in the cellar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>TIP:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re after a small family estate where a genuine Tuscan tradition washes over you, with none of the unnecessary commercial gloss, you definitely won&#8217;t put a foot wrong here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8d928b6f99f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8d928b6f99f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-13.jpg\" alt=\"Estate with vineyards above the Chianti hills\" class=\"wp-image-395199\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-13.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-13-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-13-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-13-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-13-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-13-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Celeste Tyree \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"toskansko\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-08-25T10:51:33+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

The estate offers <strong>gorgeous views over rolling hills full of vineyards<\/strong>, exactly the sight that makes us all so happy to come to Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tours here tend to be led very clearly, in a relaxed and engaging way, so you&#8217;ll <strong>learn plenty of interesting facts about the local grape varieties<\/strong> without it sounding like a dull school lecture. The guides take you right among the vines, where they&#8217;ll show you how the vine is pruned and just how much influence the local soil has on the final taste of the wine in your glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Definitely <strong>leave yourself plenty of time<\/strong> so that after the guided tasting you can wander the whole estate at your leisure and take a few lovely photos to remember it by.

You&#8217;ll find it in the south, in the Maremma area near the town of Giuncarico, and it <strong>stands out for its stunning modern architecture<\/strong>, designed by the famous architect Renzo Piano. That has earned it an excellent rating of <strong>4.7 stars from nearly three hundred visitors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Maremma region is generally less touristy and a little more affordable than central Tuscany, so <strong>here you&#8217;ll experience a completely different, wilder face of the region<\/strong>. The wines here are full of sunshine and, thanks to the proximity of the sea, have a very specific and unmistakable character that&#8217;s sure to pleasantly surprise you. The main grape grown here is Sangiovese under the local name Morellino di Scansano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The whole winery building is designed as an <strong>enormous amphitheatre<\/strong>, in the middle of which the barrels of wine rest majestically. It&#8217;s an incredibly <strong>photogenic space<\/strong> that combines industrial elements with traditional winemaking, and a tour of this underground is an experience in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>TIP:<\/strong> Because you&#8217;re fairly close to the coast, you can perfectly combine a visit here with an afternoon swim in the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8d928b70709&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8d928b70709\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1158\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-15.jpg\" alt=\"The fortress in Montalcino with the enoteca\" class=\"wp-image-395201\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-15.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-15-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-15-700x450.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-15-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-15-1536x988.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-15-696x448.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-15-1392x896.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Type17 at English Wikipedia \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Enoteca_la_Fortezza_di_Montalcino\"><\/span>10.

It&#8217;s an <strong>ideal solution for spontaneous day-trippers<\/strong> who don&#8217;t want to be tied to exact tour times but still long to sample the best of the local production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>rooms of the old fortress<\/strong> give the tasting a wonderful historic atmosphere. They&#8217;ll happily serve you excellent sheep&#8217;s cheeses, olives, and fresh bread with your wine, so you can sort out a <strong>light lunch<\/strong> here in peace too. The staff are very knowledgeable and will gladly recommend a wine to match exactly what you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>TIP:<\/strong> Once you&#8217;ve finished your glass, definitely pay for entry onto the fortress ramparts.

Although they don&#8217;t have a public rating on Google, their significance for the whole region is fundamental. It was on this very estate that <strong>the famous Brunello di Montalcino was historically created in 1888<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a very prestigious affair for genuine enthusiasts who want to taste wine with the deepest possible tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting here, though, is by no means easy and takes a huge amount of planning. You have to <strong>book your slot anywhere from two to six months ahead<\/strong>, because interest from all over the world is enormous. On top of that, these premium and highly exclusive tastings start at <strong>\u20ac100 and up per person<\/strong>, so it&#8217;s an investment in a truly exceptional experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They won&#8217;t let ordinary mass tour operators in at all, which is how the winery keeps its intimate character. Visits are strictly Monday to Friday only, so you won&#8217;t get anywhere with a weekend trip here. If you&#8217;re planning a journey for the end of summer, be very careful, because <strong>in August they&#8217;re closed entirely<\/strong> and absolutely no one gets in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>TIP:<\/strong> Brunello from this estate is renowned for its incredible longevity. If you take a bottle home, you can easily cellar it for several decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8d928b71268&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8d928b71268\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-17.jpg\" alt=\"Pouring red wine into a glass\" class=\"wp-image-395203\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-17.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-17-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-17-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-17-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-17-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-17-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-17-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: leb\u0259\u02c8 n\u0113z \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tasting_and_driving_how_not_to_get_it_wrong\"><\/span>Tasting and driving: how not to get it wrong<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where a lot of people come unstuck, which is why I want to look at it in more detail. <strong>In Italy the drink-driving limit is 0.5\u2030<\/strong>, which sounds fairly generous, but <strong>for drivers with less than three years&#8217; experience there&#8217;s a strict zero-tolerance rule<\/strong>. A standard tasting includes three to six generous samples, so you&#8217;ll reliably exceed the limit after even a single visit. The local police, the so-called carabinieri, tend to be especially active during the autumn harvest, and checks on country roads are completely routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how do you avoid landing yourself with a huge fine and a ruined holiday? The first option is to <strong>have a designated driver in your group<\/strong> who only sniffs the wine, rolls it around on the tongue, and then spits it out. Every tasting has special spittoons ready for this, and believe me, it&#8217;s not rude at all \u2014 winemakers fully expect it. It may feel a bit odd to us, but in the professional wine world it&#8217;s a completely standard procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second, far more relaxed option is to <strong>pay for an organised tour with a driver<\/strong>, for example from Florence or Siena. Group minibus tours start at around \u20ac70 and usually cover transport, a visit to two wineries, and a light lunch. If you like your privacy and want to set your own route, you can hire a private car with a driver, but you&#8217;ll pay up to \u20ac600 for that. Another popular solution is to <strong>use a town enoteca<\/strong>, which you simply walk to on foot from your apartment while your car stays safely parked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most elegant route of all, and the one I personally recommend most, is to <strong>stay right at a winery or an agriturismo that makes its own wine<\/strong>. In the evening you simply sit down on the terrace, taste everything their vineyard has to offer with the owners, and <strong>then take just a few steps straight to bed<\/strong>. You save yourself a load of logistical hassle and get the most authentic Italian experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8d928b7177a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8d928b7177a\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1201\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-18.jpg\" alt=\"Harvesting grapes during the grape harvest\" class=\"wp-image-395204\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-18.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-18-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-18-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-18-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-18-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-18-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-18-1392x929.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Gonzalo Acu\u00f1a \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_go_for_a_wine_tasting\"><\/span>When to go for a wine tasting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have the chance and want to experience the most authentic winemaking atmosphere, head to Italy in <strong>September or October, during the so-called vendemmia<\/strong> \u2014 the grape harvest itself. It&#8217;s absolutely the most beautiful season, full of golden and red colours, and you&#8217;ll catch the typical sweetish smell of fermenting must in the air everywhere. But you&#8217;ll need to bear in mind that wineries are extremely busy at this time, and <strong>some places significantly limit tourist visits during the harvest<\/strong>, simply because they have to work on the crop first and foremost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A calmer alternative \u2014 and, in my view, an absolutely brilliant one \u2014 is the <strong>spring months from April to June<\/strong>, when the whole landscape wakes up and the vineyards are gorgeously fresh and green. In this period it&#8217;s generally <strong>much easier to get reservations even at the most sought-after places<\/strong>, and the weather is already very pleasant for long walks outside without roasting in 40-degree heat. A spring visit also has the advantage that winemakers have more time to look after you personally and answer all your curious questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But be <strong>very careful about August, when lots of Italians take their holidays<\/strong> because of the well-known Ferragosto holiday, and many businesses are simply closed entirely. As I mentioned, the famous Biondi-Santi winery, for example, doesn&#8217;t operate for the whole of August and absolutely no one gets in. As for winter, operation is a little more limited and the landscape feels a touch sleepy, but <strong>cellars generally stay open, everything is significantly cheaper<\/strong>, and you certainly won&#8217;t be squeezed in among annoying crowds of tourists. It&#8217;s the ideal time for those who are after peace and quiet and want the guide all to themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8d928b71c85&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8d928b71c85\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1199\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-19.jpg\" alt=\"Bread, olive oil and pecorino for a tasting\" class=\"wp-image-395206\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-19.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-19-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-19-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-19-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-19-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-19-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/toskansko-clanky-vinice-toskansko-19-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: kasia kurosz \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_tips_worth_knowing\"><\/span>Practical tips worth knowing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few things that seem like trifles at first glance, but ultimately decide whether you&#8217;ll remember the trip as brilliant or as a <strong>lesson for next time<\/strong>. They&#8217;re <strong>seemingly small details<\/strong>, but they make an enormous difference to how much you end up enjoying the whole trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The single most important thing is planning and communicating in good time. <strong>Reserve your spots in advance<\/strong>, ideally by email, and at the truly top estates go ahead and book long months ahead. And if you&#8217;re trying to fit in as many places as possible in one day, hold on. <strong>Don&#8217;t do more than two tastings a day.<\/strong> Partly for safe drinking, and partly because after the third visit you won&#8217;t be able to <strong>tell anything apart properly<\/strong> anyway, and all the samples will start blurring into one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the cellar visit itself, be careful with cosmetics and <strong>ideally don&#8217;t put on any perfume at all<\/strong>. A strong cologne or perfume will instantly <strong>overpower the delicate aroma of the wine<\/strong> for you and everyone around you, which can ruin the whole tasting. During the tasting it also pays to <strong>shop smart<\/strong>, because buying bottles right there on the spot tends to be noticeably cheaper than in a regular shop. Very often they&#8217;ll also <strong>offer you special vintages<\/strong> that never make it into standard worldwide distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you buy a larger quantity of bottles and don&#8217;t want to lug them around in the boot, don&#8217;t be shy about asking to have the wine shipped home.

When you pick a stylish agriturismo or a working winery with its own guest rooms, you save yourself a lot of stress and get the real Italian experience. During the day you can explore historic sights in peace, and once you&#8217;re back at your room, all you have to do is head downstairs, order a board of local cheeses, have some local wine poured, and enjoy the sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prices in Tuscany vary enormously by location and level of luxury, so there really is something for everyone. You can get an ordinary family agriturismo off-season for roughly \u20ac80 to \u20ac145 per night for two people, while a stay in historic castles and luxury boutique hotels can easily set you back \u20ac330 and more per night. Always <strong>choose your accommodation based on which wine region you want to explore<\/strong>, so you don&#8217;t waste hours in the car on gruelling drives along country roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re after specific inspiration, take a look at these <strong>highly rated options<\/strong> that have delighted plenty of travellers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>  <strong>In the Gaiole in Chianti area:<\/strong> A wonderful experience is offered by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=degustace-toskansko&#038;hotelname=Castello%20di%20Tornano&#038;address=Gaiole%20in%20Chianti\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Castello di Tornano<\/a><\/strong>, where you sleep right inside a medieval castle and the pool is set into the former castle moat.

However, if you just pop into a city enoteca, you won&#8217;t need any reservation and <strong>you can drop in spontaneously straight from the street<\/strong> for a glass and some good cheese to nibble on.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787506240001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_an_average_tasting_actually_cost\"><\/span>How much does an average tasting actually cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Prices start at a very <strong>pleasant \u20ac10 for the simplest tours<\/strong>, but most commonly you&#8217;ll find prices between \u20ac28 and \u20ac45 for a full two-hour experience. However, if you&#8217;re aiming for the absolute top tier and exclusive premium experiences with rare vintages, <strong>you can easily pay \u20ac100 or more per person<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787506240002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_best_to_handle_driving_on_a_wine_tour\"><\/span>How best to handle driving on a wine tour?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The safest option is to <strong>designate one driver who will only sniff and spit the samples<\/strong> into the containers provided, which is completely common and respected practice at wineries. Another great option is to book an organized tour with transport included, or <strong>cleverly stay overnight right at the winery<\/strong>, so you won&#8217;t be driving anywhere in the evening.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787506240003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_exactly_does_the_famous_Italian_harvest_take_place\"><\/span>When exactly does the famous Italian harvest take place?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The famous vendemmia, as Italians call the harvest, <strong>takes place mainly during September and October<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a beautiful time full of colors and the distinctive aroma of fermenting must, but remember that <strong>winemakers have their hands full, so some estates prefer to limit tourist visits during this period.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787506240004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_winery_should_I_visit_for_the_first_time\"><\/span>Which winery should I visit for the first time?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re going to Tuscany for this purpose for the first time, <strong>the ideal choice is the Chianti Classico area<\/strong>, which is perfectly accessible from Florence and Siena. Try starting at the stunning <strong>Castello di Brolio<\/strong> or the more peaceful historic monastery of <strong>Badia a Coltibuono<\/strong>, where you&#8217;ll experience the true Italian atmosphere. These are safe bets that are guaranteed to enchant you.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787506240005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_gallo_nero\"><\/span>What is gallo nero?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Translated, it means black rooster, and it&#8217;s the <strong>official and very strictly protected symbol<\/strong> used to mark bottles of authentic Chianti Classico. If you <strong>see this symbol on the neck of the bottle<\/strong>, you have absolute certainty that you&#8217;re holding a certified, high-quality bottle from the finest historic zone lying between Florence and Siena.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787506240006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_taste_Brunello_without_a_reservation\"><\/span>Can you taste Brunello without a reservation?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, you can definitely manage it, although a traditional cantina most likely won&#8217;t let you in without notice. A great solution is to <strong>head to Enoteca la Fortezza<\/strong>, which is housed right in the imposing fortress in Montalcino, where <strong>they&#8217;ll pour you excellent Brunello without any reservation<\/strong> right at the bar.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787506240007\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_worth_buying_wine_directly_at_the_winery\"><\/span>Is it worth buying wine directly at the winery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Absolutely yes, buying directly at the source <strong>is usually noticeably cheaper than in regular shops<\/strong> or commercial wine stores. Plus, the staff there will <strong>often offer you exclusive limited-edition vintages for sale<\/strong> that never make it into standard worldwide distribution, so you&#8217;ll bring home a truly unique souvenir.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning wine tasting in Tuscany?
