The Chianti is between Siena and Florence, famous not only for the wine but also for the reason of the longest war ever between two cities, from the beginning of the medieval until 1555, when Siena lost the war. The fight was to draw boundaries and establish which was the area of Siena and the capital of Tuscany. Tour descripction: This tour takes you into the heart of the Chianti Classico wine territory between Florence and Sienna. Your transport will be a minibus which is the most relaxing way to see the countryside without having to concern yourselves with winery appointments, road signs and traffic fines and you’ll enjoy the wine tasting with your personal sommelier. You will learn how Chianti Classico wine is made and, during a walk through the vineyard, you’ll study the characteristics of the main tuscan grape, sangiovese, as well as the characteristics of the soil of this region. If in season, you will have the opportunity to taste sangiovese grapes straight off the vine. Next, we drive to one of the most beautiful and charming castle wineries in the area where we will enjoy the ancient castle and the mediaeval cellars, as well as the historic rooms and with their wonderful 16 C frescoes. The wine tasting in the castle with two of their best red wines is accompanied by a selection of traditional tuscan ham, salami and cheese and their olive oil. Here, at the first vineyard, you’ll hear a full discussion of the wines and olive oil. We'll have a delicious lunch in a nice restaurant or directly at the castle. Our second stop will be Greve in Chianti, the market town of Chianti Classico, where we will stroll around to enjoy this pleasant village with its shops and handicrafts, or an ancient castellated village, Montefioralle, an 11th Century jewel.
