Description:

Enjoy a scenic drive through the charming Chianti countryside and visit 2 picturesque medieval villages, Castellina and Greve in Chianti. Sample delicious regional wines and savor a succulent Tuscan lunch in a family-run estate.

Leave Siena behind and take in the breathtaking scenery, charming vineyards, and olive groves that dot the landscape. The walled village of Castellina is your first stop. Stroll through the town's medieval streets and along the ancient walls and the impressive tunnel Via delle Volte.

Continue to charming Greve in Chianti, birthplace of the famous explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. Take some free time to wander around the triangular commercial center, Piazza Matteotti. Unwind in one of the numerous cafés or just snap some photos of this picturesque village before making your way to a local winery.

Enjoy a traditional Tuscan lunch and sample the famous Chianti Classico direct from the winery. Later, head to a second estate and learn even more about the winemaking process. Walk through the cellars and hear about other Chianti wines, grape varieties, and aromas. On your way back to Siena, stop at the fascinating Abbey of Passignano for more stunning views of the charming surrounding countryside.
