Vintage Fiat 500 Tour of Chianti Overview

Live out your Italian dreams and go on an epic vintage Fiat 500 tour of Chianti with a wine tasting and lunch included. This 4 hour experience is one that you’ll be telling all of your friends about when you come back from your trip to Italy.

Not only do you get to ride around in a vintage Fiat 500 with a private driver, but you’ll also stop at a beautiful winery where you’ll have a full lunch and tasting.

Getting to the Meeting Point

You’ll meet your driver at Porta Romana where you’ll begin your journey into the Tuscan countryside. To navigate to the meeting point, I highly recommend using Citymapper to find the best route. Our driver and host, Andrea, was very easy to communicate with. You’ll end at the same location as you started.

The Experience

This experience is perfect for anybody who enjoys being a passenger princess (or prince) and stunning views of the Italian countryside. As you make your way out of Florence, you’ll be greeted by the hills of Tuscany covered with olive trees and vineyards. If the weather is favorable, your driver may put the top down on the Fiat, which makes it an even more memorable experience.

The destination is a family-owned winery where you’ll enjoy a full lunch and wine pairing. The winery may vary for each individual tour, but we visited Luiano Winery, which was fabulous. They serve multiple small plates, which is the perfect amount of food, and 4 wines to taste with it. After lunch, you’ll have a tour of the wine cellar before heading back to the Fiat 500.

The ride back to Florence will give you some time to digest and take in the Chianti region. As you get closer to the city, you may get lucky with some epic views of the city from the hills.

All Tour Options

There are other options for this tour that you can choose from. The basic tour is a 2 hour ride around Chianti, but I chose to book the longer tour that included the wine tasting and lunch.

Takeaway

For anybody who loves wine, Italian food, and riding around in a classic car, this vintage Fiat 500 tour of Chianti is a must-do while you’re visiting Florence. Our guide, Andrea, was so much fun and made the experience one that will never be forgotten. I can’t recommend this tour enough.
