Explore the lovely Chianti region and immerse yourselves in the enchanting Tuscan scenery! Our Half Day Chianti Wine Tour will guide you on the discovery of the uncontaminated landscapes that have been cradling the Chianti vineyards for centuries. The scents, colors, and flavors hidden among these hills will capture your senses.
You will visit an authentic Tuscan winery and learn the ins and outs of wine production. Dont miss your chance to taste the ruby-red wine and pair it with fresh, natural products such as samples of sliced cold meats, bruschetta, and salami. Next stop is the ancient fortress of Monteriggioni. After contemplating the structure and surrounding scenery, you can grab a rich coffee or gelato in the local cafe. Last but not least, the tour includes a second tasting of fresh olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and wine in another local winery.

The alluring ruby-red color and specific tickling scents of violet are features that betray the identity of one of the most esteemed wines in the world: Chianti. The wine is a witty blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
In the Middle Ages, three Tuscan villages (Gaiole, Radda, and Castellina) formed a so-called Lega del Chianti (League of Chianti). That area became the historical and spiritual core of the Chianti region. However, as the Chianti wine grew popular, more and more Tuscan villages wanted their lands to be called Chianti. Due to these variations, the region saw countless expansions and subdivisions from its humble beginnings. Today, only a few wineries have the privilege of calling their wines Chianti. The strict quality regulations of DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) ensure the wine awarded this name is up to high-quality standard associated with it.
