Chianti Food and Wine Tour
Chianti Food and Wine Tour
"Chianti is Tuscany's central district. Thanks to climate, soil and its inhabitant's dedication, it has proved to be one of the world's most renowned spots for wine production. Actual Chianti landscape is the result of centuries of farmers and land owners efforts and passion. Every single acre is purposefully and masterfully taken into account and cured.
This single day tour starts in Florence where a private van will pick you up for a gorgeous drive through Chianti's gentle landscape to a medieval winery/castle (one of the two we generally work with). An authorized guide will take you on a visit through the cellars and explain the process of wine making. As the cellar tour finishes you will get the chance to taste different wines, olive oil and balsamic vinegard. Just in time for lunch! We will then head to the restaurant where, accompanied by delicious appetizers, we will get to taste gourmet first course samples. After relaxing the van will escort you to Chianti's main town, full of cafès and shops selling typical Tuscan products. The tour ends with a relaxing walk into a picturesque and panoramic village nearby, after which we will escort you back to Florence.
