Activity Overview
The beautiful ruby-red color and the characteristic bouquet with scents of violet are the special features that reveal the identity of one of the most famous wines in the world: Chianti. A Chianti wine results from the wise blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, and originates from the picturesque hilly area from which it draws its name. 

Our expert and witty tour guides will lead you to through the gorgeous and breathtaking landscapes that have been cradling the Chianti vineyards for centuries, showing you a harmony of colors that can only be found in the hills of this Italian region.

During your tour, you will visit ancient churches, medieval castles and small villages where the rhythm of life remains unaltered over time. The sounds, scents, and flavors of this tour will steal your heart and tickle your senses!
