My husband and I did a private tour with Alessandro eight years ago, and it was absolutely fabulous. So, when we found out we had a wedding in Florence, we were thrilled that we could squeeze in another private tour with Alessandro! We chose a completely different itinerary this time, and once again, everything was incredible. We visited beautiful small towns that weren’t crowded or overly touristy, along with two amazing wineries, and received VIP treatment the entire day. I cannot recommend Alessandro enough! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the history of all the small towns throughout Florence and Tuscany, and he has a way of making the entire experience feel so special and personal. Eight years ago, our private tour with Alessandro was the highlight of our trip, and once again, this tour will be the highlight of our two-week European vacation. Thank you, Alessandro, for taking such wonderful care of my husband, me, and the two other couples who joined us. I’m getting so many kudos from the other couples for setting this up, but little do they know, all I had to do was send Alessandro one text, and he took care of everything else! If you’re visiting Florence or Tuscany, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Alessandro at Unique Tuscany!!! You won’t regret it!

Itinerary
Experience the unforgettable town of Greve in Chianti, located in the heart of the Chianti Classico wine region, and home of the famous explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. An unmissable visit is also due at the ancient and famous Falorni butcher shop, where you will have the opportunity to taste exceptional Tuscan snacks made with local cold cuts and cheeses!
Montefioralle is truly a treasure of Tuscany - not to be missed. Originally a castle in the Middle Ages, with its 79 inhabitants, it is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Absolutely worth a visit, take time for a stroll and take some photos in its iconic, narrow stone streets.
Here you will embark on your first wine tasting! You will be hosted by a small producer of premium, high-quality wines. The production is fully manual, from the vineyard to the wine cellar. The Chianti Classico wine is produced in an organic-certified estate. In short, this is a unique experience to taste exceptional, high-quality wine!
A visit in the picturesque Panzano is a must! As you take a few steps to reach Panzano’s medieval 11th century tower, you are truly immersed in another time. Enclosed by its fortified walls, you feel as if you’re returning to the Middle Ages. Take breathtaking pictures of the extraordinary southern valley, where hundreds of plots of land are planted with Sangiovese vines.
On your last stop, it’s time for a phenomenal farm-to-table lunch and wine tasting! You will be hosted at a farm with fully organic and locally-produced products, with a wine explanation accompanying your meal. During lunch you will taste Extra Vergin olive oil, the superb Chianti Classico and the new trends of the Super Tuscan wine, white wines, dishes prepared with balsamic vinegar, and dessert wines! Animals, vineyards and olive trees will be fundamental factors in making this traditional Tuscan setting unforgettable! It will be a truly special experience for you and your private group to remember throughout the years.

Alessandro was fantastic! He was upbeat, knowledgeable and our your was perfect. Not touristy spots, rather authentic and local favorites. It was a perfect day !
We had another incredible private wine tour with Alessandro, our second year booking with him, and once again, he exceeded our expectations! I’ve taken many tours over the years, and Alessandro consistently delivers the best experience. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about the region. This time, he took us to a beautiful castle, a charming local town square, and an amazing small-batch winery that felt truly special and authentic. We also enjoyed a fantastic local lunch. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the entire day was unforgettable. We can’t recommend Alessandro highly enough and look forward to touring with him again!
Alessandro was an incredible guide!!! We enjoyed seeing the Tuscany countryside, and all of the vineyards and spots he chose were beautiful!!! 10/10 we highly recommend booking with him! Very comfortable ride, and amazing recommendations for our Italy stay!!!
Alex was an amazing guide for our private Chianti wine tour! He knew all the best spots to visit and shared so much interesting history and local knowledge throughout the day. Everything felt personal, relaxed, and well planned. We had an incredible time and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Chianti!
Alessandro was an incredible driver and tour guide truly one of the highlights of our trip. Being a local from the Tuscany/Florence area, his knowledge and passion for the region made the entire experience so much more meaningful and engaging. He planned a perfectly curated day for us, taking us to two beautiful local wineries that we never would have found on our own. What we appreciated most was his focus on authentic, small-scale producers rather than large, commercial wineries. The wines were organic, unique, and felt truly special something you can’t just find anywhere. It made the experience feel personal, intimate, and very true to the region. Alessandro was professional, friendly, and thoughtful throughout the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic Tuscan wine experience!
It was an amazing trip. Alessandro did everything for this day be unforgetable. The wineries were the best and we loved to talk to Maurizio, the owner of one of the wineries. I fully recommend it.
This was an excellent trip. We’ve taken a trip with Alessandro before when we were in Florence last time and liked him so much we booked him again and it was just as amazing as we had remembered. He is very knowledgeable and accomodating! Couldn’t recommend him enough!
We have used Alessandro more than once, and we have recommended him to friends that agree that he’s incomparable! Prompt, responsive, accomodating, so pleasant and agreeable! He’s the best-can’t recommend him highly enough.
We had an amazing day with Alessandro visiting San Gimignano, Casa Emma and off the beaten path places in the Chianti region of Tuscany. Alessandro is a native and true expert on the region. He is very knowledgeable about the history and wine production of the region. He arranged for a tour of Casa Emma Vineyard with a generous wine tasting and beautifully prepared Tuscan luncheon at the estate. He took us to a couples of places in the region where we could experience true Tuscany. He was a pleasure to spend our day with and we would highly recommend his UNIQUE TUSCANY services.
We did a private tour with Alessandro of Chianti wineries and villages. Wow, this day was our favourite out of a fantastic 18-day trip to Italy! We had so much fun, it was like visiting with a friend who knows all the right spots to go to, and more ;). The Tuscany region is simply breathtakingly beautiful. The wine is exquisite … the olive oil: a revelation! The tour was very well balanced, we got a lot a valuable info and reco from Alessandro, who was genuinely kind, easy to talk to and an amazing guide. If you book this tour, make sure to visit Maurizio Brogioni Winery, as it was simply a little paradise with amazing olive oil and wines. If you are in this area, I really recommend a private tour with Alessandro from Unique Tuscany.
Alessandro was the friendliest person who showed so much pride in his hometown. he was so knowledgeable giving us details about everything. we enjoyed the 2 vineyards we saw. it was absolutely beautiful!!! We felt like we knew him forever - it was the best day we spent in Florence!!!!!
The day was amazing!! Alessandro took time to plan a beautiful day to include wineries that were unique and special stops with history and stories. This is our second day trip with him and highly recommend him and his services! We will definitely be touring Tuscany with him again!
Alessandro made the entire experience so enjoyable! He was very accommodating and easygoing. My husband and I learned so much about wines and Tuscany thanks to him. I highly recommend the private tour with Alessandro. One of the best decision I made during our trip in Italy! Absolutely worth it!
We had a great day with Allesandro - he was a wonderful guide with a lot of information and a great personality! All of the places we stopped were beautiful. We covered a lot of ground, and ended with a beautiful sunset at Piazzale Michelangelo The only thing we did not particularly like was the lunch/wine we had. Others there seemed to enjoy it, but it was not to our tastes. But highly recommend charming Allesandro!
One of the best tour's we took while in Italy. Our driver, Alessandro was FANTASTIC! Showed up on time, was patient and always responded to any questions I had. Don't hesitate to book this tour. It was fabulous 👌.
Alessandro made it a magical day for our family. We are all still smiling tonight! Alessandro selected our itinerary and it was perfect. He is informative, fun, relaxed and so easy to talk to. It was a perfect day and we give Alessandro all of the credit.
We had an absolutely amazing day wine tasting, eating and enjoying the sights of Tuscany. Alessandro (Alex) is so friendly, accommodating, and made sure all five of us (4 adults and one 11 y/o) had a great time. He is so up beat, knowledgeable, funny, the best tour guide, and of course best driver! 1-2 months prior to our tour, I started emailing back and forth with Alex. Going through various places to visit, itineraries, etc. He was super helpful and so patient with me (and my endless questions)! If you’re comparing companies for a tour, stop looking elsewhere. Make it easy on yourself and Book with Alessandro!! You will not be disappointed.
We had a terrific experience with Alessandro on a private full day tour of the Chianti Region. Alessandro picked us up at our hotel in a new Mercedes van and took us through the region stopping at multiple locations giving us exposure to more than just the wineries, but also the history of the region and the towns. We did stop at two wineries, one for lunch and wine pairing, which was spectacular and then a second winery that Alessandro arranged for us that had a gorgeous view of the landscape. He then took us back to our hotel. We had a full day and it was certainly a hilight of our trip to Italy. If you are looking for a great private tour, book Alessandro and Unique Tuscany; he is knowledgeable, easy to talk to and allows you the flexibility on your tour. Highly Recommend
Alessandro was amazing. We emailed prior to arrival, so he planned out a wonderful day for us. We got to see two beautiful wineries, medieval villages, and learned some interesting history. The car was clean and extremely comfortable. We had an issue with where we were staying and Alessandro let us bring our luggage for the day. We really appreciated Alessandro's flexibility and knowledge of Tuscany. After the day, Alessandro even gave us recommendations for restaurants by our Airbnb. We went to several and all were amazing :). I spent 14 days in Italy and can say that this was a major highlight of the trip. You will not regret spending a day with Alessandro!
Our full day tour of the Chianti region with Alessandro was outstanding! We loved this tour because we designed it with Alessandro's help/input. Amazing wine/olive oil/balsamic tasting that he arranged. He was informative, knowledgeable and patient (we asked lots of questions). He's friendly, a safe driver, and has a comfortable Mercedes van. Alessandro's runs his own business, not part of a large impersonal company. We highly recommend and definitely would hire Alessandro again!
An amazing day in Tuscany…….. we dreamed of that day for a year our expectations were very high and Alessandro organized us a real dream day. It’s a must he knows exactly the right spots you feel like in a movie. Thank you so much Alessandro 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Our tour guide Alessandro was fantastic! I would highly recommend. We visited two wineries and saw some of the countryside.
Alessandro treated my family like we were his own. He was prompt, professional, could solve problems, kind, and provided great conversation. I will always use him in Florence.
Excellent! We had a lovely time! Our driver was really helpfull and costumized the tour to our prefences. He took great care of our party and showed us some great an different wineries.
Our driver was outstanding. He took us to some of the most beautiful places I never would have seen otherwise. We were able to have some amazing wine and see beautiful vineyards along the way. He was very knowledgeable about the countryside and I would absolutely book this again in the future. Magnifica!
So wonderful! He gave recommendations, history and showed us beautiful parts of the Tuscan countryside. We even squeezed in more than we thought, and he dropped us off at the steps of Michelangelo. I’ve done numerous tours in Tuscany, and this is simply the best.
Alessandro was amazing! We connected a few days prior to get a sense of my family’s expectations. His planning, organization, attention to service, detail, and communication was spot on. Best in class. February isn’t “high season” and organizing a wine tasting and tour of Tuscany on a Sunday was a double-challenge. He came through with an incredible tasting and delicious lunch at family-run organic winery. Great wine / olive oil and yes, they ship (cases) to the US. The vineyard owner and his wife prepared the wine and food paring that totally complimented one another, against the rolling hills of Tuscany. Francesco (the Italian born US Football player !) was our driver and so nice, engaging, professional and the kind of person you want to hang out with afterwards. Francesco was so knowledgeable and spots we visited were stunning. And of course, ended the day with a visit to the official “Best Worldwide” gelato spot in San Gimignano. Phenomenal experience and highly recommend Alessandro!
What a fantastic day Alessandro arranged for us in the Chianti region. We spent the morning at our favorite winery Tenuta Cassanova and then a second winery Casa Emma. Alessandro did it all and it was perfetto! He is a great person and his car is absolutely spotless. By far the best experience anyone could ask for. We have used other companies and they didn't live up to the arrangement. His price was spot on. I have to say that Alessandro's personality and knowledge is top of the class.
Despite all that is happening in the world right now, we had the best time on the "Wine time" tour with Alessandro. It was great, the wineries were family run non commercial, both the wine and the food were great. We both felt completely safe and would 100% recommend taking the tour.
An unforgettable tour through Chianti Classico!!! Best decision I’ve made was choosing the full day opposed to the half! No kidding. Our tour guide and now friend Alessandro escorted us on a Tuscan wine experience of a life time. He thoughtfully planned a journey which lead us through enchanting towns on our way to delightful wineries. Our day was full of conversation, breathtaking vistas and harmonious flavours!! Only an knowledgeable, experienced and passionate Fiorentini could create an experience like this. Thank you Alessandro! We will always refer our friends and family. Our experience today was truly incredible. Brit and Al
Alex was very professional and fun. He set us up with 3 small family vineyards, one for lunch. The wine was fantastic, but the food was the best we had all trip! The families really love what they do and were very attentive. We also visited 2 medieval towns, which were like a step back in time! We finished the day feeling like we truly saw the best on Chianti in one day! Thanks
The vineyard was exciting and wonderful. Alex will get you to the right place!! The old villages of Tuscany were amazing. You won’t miss anything traveling with Alex.
I was delighted with the experience. Maurizio welcomed us at his farm with great affection. He explained about the collection of grapes and about the process of producing olive oil. It was very attentive and fun with everyone. My children loved Mauricio and also his dog. Beautiful place and fantastic experience. It is well worth the visit. The wines are wonderful.
A complete immersion in Tuscany together with Alessandro, who was an excellent and very professional driver, taking us to some of the best wineries in Chianti, and making us taste the best wines of Italy.
