A 25+1+1 minibus that actually reaches the wineries, and a 51+1 coach for larger groups. Greve, Panzano, Castellina, Radda, Gaiole. Written quote within 2 hours.
Chianti is where the choice of vehicle matters more than anywhere else. The wineries are not on the main road: you reach them along narrow gravel tracks, with tight bends and gateways built for cars. A twelve-metre coach simply cannot turn into many of them — and the group ends up walking the last kilometre, uphill, in the August sun.
GiroMunna is a licensed NCC operator based in the province of Pistoia. Our minibus is 7.64 metres long, and that is precisely why it gets where others stop.
From Florence, Siena or the coast: two villages, one or two wineries, lunch. Nobody has to drive back, which in Chianti is not a small detail.
The most frequent case. The villa sits at the end of a gravel road and needs the right vehicle, plus staggered runs home into the small hours.
Vehicle and driver stay with the group for the whole stay. Over consecutive days the daily cost comes down.
Florence, Pisa, Bologna, Rome to the farmhouses of Chianti, with the last kilometre checked before we confirm.
Incentives, dinners among the vines, team building at a winery. With a proper invoice and one single contact.
Above 25 we use the grand tourer, or two minibuses if the chosen wineries cannot take a long vehicle.
It is not about price, it is about access. Three things decide whether a vehicle gets there:
🚌 How we work: when you tell us which wineries are on your list, we look at the approach on the satellite view before quoting. If a vehicle will not fit we say so straight away and propose the alternative — a different winery, a drop-off further down, or two minibuses instead of one coach. Not on the day, at the gate.
| Leg | Distance | Time by coach |
|---|---|---|
| Florence → Greve in Chianti | 32 km / 20 mi | 1 hour |
| Greve → Panzano | 10 km / 6 mi | 20 minutes |
| Panzano → Castellina | 18 km / 11 mi | 35 minutes |
| Castellina → Radda | 12 km / 7 mi | 25 minutes |
| Castellina → Siena | 25 km / 16 mi | 40 minutes |
| Florence → Castellina | 55 km / 34 mi | 1 h 15 |
These are coach times on the SR222, the Chiantigiana: a car takes roughly a third less. Anyone building the day on satnav times arrives late at the first winery and slips for the rest of the day.
Leave Florence at 9, Greve at 10 with three quarters of an hour in the village, Panzano at 11:20 for the visit and tasting, lunch, Castellina in the afternoon and back at 17:45. Three hours of driving in total: the driver stays inside every limit and the day holds together.
What does not fit is adding Siena: you finish after 8 p.m. and the city gets forty minutes, which is not worth the drive. You will find that day written hour by hour, along with three others, in our sample itineraries.
It depends on the hours, the distance, the vehicle and the season. In Chianti city access permits weigh less — the villages do not charge what Florence or Siena do — and time weighs more: a day with long stops ties up vehicle and driver as much as a far longer transfer.
For a detailed look at what pushes a quote up or down, we have written a page on how the price is built.
You book the wineries. We handle the vehicle, the driver, the timings and the routes: the visits, the tastings and the restaurants stay your choice, and nobody is taking you where they have an arrangement.
7.64 metres: it fits where twelve metres does not, and we know because we drive them.
Winery approaches are verified at the quote stage, not on the day of the service.
We have no arrangements with wineries or restaurants. You go where you want to go.
A written quote, free and with no obligation, within two hours.
With the minibus almost always, gravel roads included. With the grand tourer it depends: send us the names of the wineries and we check the approach before confirming.
Two, comfortably. Three only if they are close together and the visits are short. Anyone promising four has not counted the driving or the tasting times.
No, you book them. We organise the vehicle, the timings and the routes, and tell you whether the programme holds together.
Certainly. Chianti is closer from Siena: Castellina is forty minutes away.
Yes, with the grand tourer if the wineries are reachable, otherwise with two minibuses. We tell you which of the two works out better in your case.
Tell us the dates, how many you are and which wineries you have in mind. We check the approaches and send you the programme with timings and a written price, within two hours.
