Wine Tasting FirenzeChianti Wine Tastings at Sunset
Two vineyards, six wine tastings and a cellar tour, arranged so that the last glass lands as the light goes over the hills. ACCORD Italy runs it in an air-conditioned car or a seven-to-eight-seat minivan rather than a coach, with a local guide and an English-speaking driver, for $149.09 per adult over five to seven hours. Because it is set to sunset, the departure time moves through the year. It holds 4.7 from 299 reviews. A Chianti sunset wine tour from Florence is a different proposition from a midday one, and the wine tastings in Florence compared here show what the hour costs.

Quick answer Six tastings, a small vehicle, and a start time that moves with the season
The Chianti sunset day trip visits two well-known vineyards with six wine tastings and a cellar tour, travelling by air-conditioned car or a seven-to-eight-seat minivan with an English-speaking driver and a local guide. Hotel pickup is included only if you select the private option; small-group departures meet centrally. Tips are not included, pets and smoking in the vehicle are not allowed, and the operator states the itinerary may change depending on which wineries are available. Six tastings is the highest count of any half-day compared here, and the vehicle is the smallest.
Key takeaways
- Six tastings across two vineyards — more pours than any other half-day on this page
- A car or a 7–8 seat minivan, so the group is small by construction rather than by option
- Hotel pickup only on the private option; the small-group departure meets in the centre
- Sunset moves the start: an August departure and a November one are hours apart
- The operator may change which wineries the day visits — the format is fixed, the estates are not
Why the Departure Time Moves
Sunset in Florence is not a fixed hour
A trip built around the light cannot keep one start time. Florence's sunset runs from around half past four in December to well past half past eight in June, so a summer departure leaves in the afternoon and finishes late in the evening, while an autumn one leaves at midday.
Check the start time on your date before you plan dinner. On a June booking you will be back in Florence at an hour when kitchens are still serving; in October the day ends earlier than you might expect.
What golden hour actually gives you
The hills southeast of Florence are ridge and valley, cypress and vine, and they photograph in low light the way nothing does at midday. That is most of the argument for paying $149.09 rather than $57.34 for a similar itinerary — you are buying the hour, not extra wine.
The other part of the argument is the vehicle. A car or a seven-seat minivan cannot become a party of fifty, and reviewers write about the driver as a person rather than a function.
Practical Notes
Pickup, tips and the wineries
Hotel pickup comes with the private option only. On the small-group departure you meet centrally, which is worth confirming when you book if you are staying outside the walls.
Tips are not included. And the listing says the itinerary may change depending on the wineries selected — read that as the operator keeping a working relationship with several estates rather than as a warning. What is fixed is two vineyards, six tastings and a cellar.
A dinner version exists
One of the options on the same listing includes dinner, which turns a tasting trip into an evening out and removes the question of where to eat when you get back. If the sunset is the point, that is the version that follows it through.
For a day that includes a full meal at a lower price, the 4WD safari includes lunch or dinner as standard.
What Travellers Say

Incredible to see the Tuscan countryside, and Andrea made the day unforgettable for us.
