Chianti and Castle from San Gimignano

About this experience

Visit the beautiful region of Chianti with us and immerse yourselves in the picturesque Tuscan scenery that you have always imagined. The beautiful ruby-red color and the characteristic bouquet with scents of violet are the special features that reveal the identity of one of the most famous wines in the world: Chianti. This wine results from the wise blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, and originates from the hilly area from which it draws its name. We will lead you to the discovery of the breathtaking, uncontaminated landscapes that have been cradling the Chianti vineyards for centuries, presenting you with a harmony of colors that can only be found in the hills of this region. The sounds, scents, and flavors of this land will capture your senses through a unique experience. You will live, relish, and enjoy by visiting ancient churches, medieval castles, and small villages where the rhythm of life remains unaltered over time. The tour continues with a visit to a charming wine estate. You'll join a wine tasting paired with some typical food. Then you’ll move to another winery, in the middle of Chianti Classico Area, where you’ll have a second wine tasting and extra virgin olive oil. The tour will end in San Gimignano, where it started.
