Chianti Easy Winery Tour
Winery and Slow Food Tour of the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany
Duration: 8 hours - lunch & wine tasting
A perfect day in the Chianti countryside
Off the beaten tracks of Chianti
Leave noise and traffic behind.....!
Chianti is a vast territory between Florence and Siena in the heart of Tuscany, a region known for wine and olive oil production as well as for the magnificent landscape. In the past this area was the site of many battles between the two provinces to such a degree as to cause the Republic of Florence in 1384 to found the Chianti League, which was a military-political alliance. Its mission was to defend and to administer the territory on behalf of the Florentine republic. For their coat-of-arms they had the image of a black rooster on a gold background which became the symbol of Chianti Classico vine. The league survived even after the end of the battles between Florence and Siena and was abolished only in 1774. During the tour we will have the occasion to visit some of the most famous farms, see their wine cellars and taste excellent wines. We may also visit small villages such as Greve in Chianti, Castellina and Radda in Chianti, and ancient castles, hidden among green hills and surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. This tour is a perfect combination of culinary delights, art and culture.

Greve in Chianti - culinary tour
Greve in Chianti is the Florentine
“capital
” of Chianti. With its splendid square surrounded on three sides by a loggia, it has been the principal market square
Falorni Shop of the area since the Middle Ages. The shops sell antique furniture, copper pots and pans, food and of course the local wine. It is possible to visit the ancient wine cellars dug directly into the rock in the basements where oil, cheese and salami are kept at a perfect temperature. In the middle of the square we find the statue of the famous explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, whose family
comes from this area. Under the service of Francis I of France he explored most of the Eastern coast of the United States.
