Deluxe Wine Tasting From Florence
Description
Join our unforgettable wine-tasting experience as we eat and drink our way through Chianti. Renowned not only for its superb red wines, fresh local produce, and traditional cuisine, Chianti also boasts some of Italy’s most gorgeous landscapes, sprinkled with vineyards, villages, and medieval castles. The perfect day trip from Florence! Experience the best parts of the region while we treat you to its award-winning wines.
You’ll be picked up from your accommodation, by one of our English-speaking drivers, and from there you will enjoy a relaxing and fascinating day trip through the beautiful Tuscany countryside with its rolling hills and immense vineyards. Once in the Chianti wine region, your first stop will be in Radda in Chianti; a small and picturesque medieval town located on top of a hill with breathtaking landscape views of vineyards and rich vegetation. Take some free time to walk the streets of this little Italian gem and visit the local attractions such as the perfectly preserved medieval walls that date from the 15th century and the local artisan shops with their typical culinary products.
After the quick visit to Radda, you will drive to another popular destination in the wine region called Panzano in Chianti. Like its “sister” Radda, Panzano is located halfway between Florence and Siena and is famous in Italy for hosting an annual wine festival called “Vino al vino”, where wineries from all over the country present their best products. Here, you’ll also have some free time to explore the beautiful ancient town that offers incredible sights like the castle of Panzano and the church of Santa Maria built in the 13th century.
The last stop is the town Greve in Chianti, where you will enjoy the wine-tasting experience with local cheese and other specialties before heading back to Florence.
