Chianti Wine Tour

Tuscany is one of the most known in Italy and in the world for the production of wines. Explore the beautiful Tuscany and taste its products. The Chianti region is Tuscany's wine-making powerhouse. Discovering the area provides a chance to visit wine-makers for tastings and enjoying the Tuscan countryside with its beautiful views and historical sites. The Chianti Classico area is better defined than many of its counterparts, due mostly to boundaries delineated by Cosimo III de’ Medici in the eighteenth century, which he drew to create a clear area for wine producers here. But the Tuscan fashion, today’s towns’ relationships feel more rooted in shared history than strict geography. The most expansive subsection of the greater Chianti area, the Chianti Classico is perhaps best described as the heart of Tuscany, spanning the hilly lands between Florence and Siena and encompassing parts of both provinces.          Download PDF Discover Chianti
