Know more about your day trip
Antinori nel Chianti Classico is a revolutionary architectural marvel seamlessly integrated into the Tuscan hillside. This cutting-edge facility, opened in 2012, represents a bold contrast to the family's 600+ year winemaking tradition. During your 3-hour visit, discover how the spiral staircase and circular design echo wine's aging process, experience how natural light illuminates underground spaces through ingenious design, and see sustainability features like gravity-flow winemaking and a living roof covered with vineyards. The structure has won numerous architectural awards for its innovative yet landscape-respectful design.
The Antinori family has produced wine continuously since 1385, spanning 26 generations and representing one of the world's oldest family businesses. During your visit, learn how they revolutionized Italian wine in the 1970s by creating "Super Tuscans" like Tignanello, challenging restrictive wine regulations with innovative blends. The family's entrepreneurial spirit, balancing tradition with innovation, has influenced Italy's winemaking reputation globally. Their motto, "Tenute Antinori, te duce proficio" ("With you as my leader, I shall progress"), reflects their philosophy of honoring heritage while embracing change.
Your tasting experience typically includes several wines showcasing the estate's diverse portfolio. You'll likely sample the flagship Chianti Classico, featuring Sangiovese's characteristic cherry notes and firm structure, and may taste Villa Antinori, a contemporary expression of traditional Tuscan style. Premium tastings might include renowned Super Tuscans like Tignanello or Solaia, which blend Sangiovese with international varieties. The knowledgeable sommeliers explain each wine's production methods, aging processes, and ideal food pairings, enhancing your understanding of these prestigious wines.
The on-site Rinuccio 1180 Restaurant, named after the family's founder, offers a refined dining experience with panoramic vineyard views through floor-to-ceiling windows. The menu features contemporary Tuscan cuisine highlighting seasonal, local ingredients that pair perfectly with Antinori wines. For lighter options, the winery offers guided tastings with food pairings including local cheeses, charcuterie, olive oils, and artisanal breads. Advance restaurant reservations are recommended, particularly during high season, though your driver can assist with arrangements.
The Antinori winery is located approximately 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) south of Florence in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, with a driving time of about 30-40 minutes. The scenic route passes through the picturesque Tuscan countryside with its characteristic vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads. Your private Daytrip driver handles the transportation, allowing you to enjoy the journey and sample wines without concerns about driving afterward.
For the optimal experience, book a guided tour and tasting in advance (your driver can assist). Begin with the architectural tour to understand the facility's innovative design and the family's winemaking philosophy. Follow with a structured tasting, perhaps paired with local foods. If time permits, enjoy lunch at Rinuccio 1180 Restaurant with its panoramic views. Complete your visit browsing the curated wine shop and museum displaying artifacts from the family's 600-year history. The winery offers various experience levels, from basic tours to premium tastings of reserve wines.
The Antinori winery was designed with accessibility in mind, featuring elevators connecting all levels and wheelchair-accessible pathways throughout most areas. While wine tastings focus on adults, the facility welcomes families, and children may enjoy the architectural experience and museum aspects. The dramatic spiral staircase and views of the production facilities can interest visitors of all ages. For visitors with specific mobility requirements, mention these when booking to ensure appropriate accommodations. The restaurant can usually accommodate dietary restrictions with advance notice.
