Is this a group tour or private?

It's a private minivan tour, meaning your group travels separately from other bookings. Exact group-size limits aren't specified—contact the operator to confirm capacity and whether you can add participants.

What's included in the lunch?

Lunch features regional Chianti specialities and local produce, eaten at a farm location. Specific menu details depend on seasonal availability and producer partners—ask for a sample menu when booking.

Can I buy and ship wine home?

Yes—the final stop includes time to purchase directly from producers. Shipping is available; ask about international options, costs, and timeline when you arrive, as carrier policies vary by destination country.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The open-top minivan has limited weather protection. In heavy rain or extreme heat, check with the operator about rescheduling options or covered-vehicle alternatives before your tour date.

How much walking is involved?

Village exploration involves uneven cobblestone streets and hills typical of medieval Tuscan towns. Pace is leisurely, but comfortable walking shoes are essential; notify the operator if you have mobility concerns.

Does the price include drinks with lunch?

Wine tastings are included; details about water, coffee, or non-alcoholic beverages with lunch aren't specified. Confirm what's covered to avoid surprises, especially if non-drinkers are in your party.
