Chianti Region tours

We are going to be staying in Florence for 4 nights towards the end of September and are looking for a tour that can take us into the Chianti region for possibly some wine tasting and touring of a town or two...just to see the countryside. Has anyone done a tour recently like this that could recommend a tour company or provide some advice? Thanks

Look at www.viator.com You will find several Chianti region tours from Florence, depending on dates of travel. If you want to go directly to the tour operator, you would have to look in RS Italy guidebook to see what companies are there.
