Enjoy the charm of the Chianti countryside, one of the most suggestive areas of Tuscany, renowned all over the world not only for its famous wine, but even for its landscapes and vineyards, olive trees and cypresses surrounding churches, parishes, castles and villages hidden among the hills.
On your arrival at the castle your will start your visit to some reception rooms, the garden and the historical cellar of the farm where the famous barrels of Chianti Classico are kept. After the visit a snack-tasting with a selection of fine wines** will be served.
The trip moves on to Greve in Chianti with a stop in the historic square flanked by open galleries where you can wander around the shops selling typical products of the Chianti area.
Then you will visit Castellina in Chianti, a characteristic ancient hamlet set on a hill and nestled between stretches of vineyards and olive groves. In the evening, we will reach San Donato in Poggio, an ancient settlement in a fortified castle dating back to the eleventh century, which maintains part of its walls and a stunning Romanesque parish church.
In a characteristic Tavern in the magical atmosphere of this small village, you will be served dinner with a rich menu and excellent Chianti wine. You can choose from a typical dinner or a meal with a 1 kilogram (36 ounce) serving of "bistecca alla fiorentina" (Florentine style T-bone steak)* from selected Tuscan livestock farms.
