Description:

Chianti is one of the most evocative areas of Tuscany, known throughout the world for its excellent wine and its charming countryside. Experience the highlights of the region while you sample some of the best locally produced wines at a stunning medieval castle.

Romanesque churches, farmhouses, villas, and castles of rare beauty can be found throughout this wonderful region, and you can see them all on your scenic drive. You make a stop at an old village of historic and artistic interest to explore the picturesque winding streets and small courtyards, and to see how the villagers go about their daily lives.
