Description

Private Chianti Shore Excursion through the Tuscan Countryside

When your cruise ship docks in Livorno, and you have only a single day to see the Tuscan countryside, we suggest a privately guided, fully narrated Chianti shore excursion to make the most of your time in this famously picturesque region, world renowned for its breathtaking landscapes. On this nine-hour tour, discover that sense of “Under the Tuscan sun” as you drive through rolling hills of vineyards, orchards and olive groves as well as wilder wooded areas in Chianti.

Wine Tasting in Chianti

Stop in Greve and visit Piazza Matteotti with its porticoes, or the five-century-old butcher’s shop, Falorni, famous all over the world for its beef, salami, ham and many types of sausage. Have a guided cellar tour at an esteemed winery and taste local wines and extra virgin olive oils before returning to your ship in Livorno.
