Chianti Experience: distinctive flavours and fragrances

Let yourself be enchanted by the magical atmosphere of Chianti, a land of famous wines and soft hills, where the woods are interspersed with vineyards and olive groves, and the landscape is dotted with Romanesque churches, farmhouses, villas and castles. Set off from Florence with a private driver and visit a typical winery, where the grapes are still harvested by hand. Visit the barrique cellar to sample four types of wine, paired with local zero-mile products. Head for the ancient mediaeval town of Greve, where the region's most important wine fair is held every year. Venture into the old market square and peruse the local craft shops. Continue your journey along the ancient Via Chiantigiana to reach Castellina, a fortified town with Etruscan roots. Stroll through the historic centre and lose yourself in the houses, squares and shops. Finish the tour at a second winery, surrounded by vineyards, where you can enjoy dinner with a wine tasting and local products. A journey to discover the distinctive flavours and fragrances of the Tuscan countryside.
