Description

What To Expect Itinerary • Pass By: Impruneta. Pass through the picturesque village of Impruneta, well known for Hight-quality extra virgin olive oil and for famous Terracotta, still produced as the ancestors did in the 15th century. • Stop At: Greve in Chianti,Tuscany. Experience the unforgettable town of Greve in Chianti, located in the heart of the Chianti Classico wine region, and home of the famous explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. An unmissable visit is also due at the ancient and famous Falorni butcher shop, where you will have the opportunity to taste exceptional Tuscan snacks made with local cold cuts and cheeses! Duration: 30/40 minutes • Stop At: Castello di Montefioralle, Tuscany. Montefioralle is truly a treasure of Tuscany - not to be missed. Originally a castle in the Middle Ages, with its 79 inhabitants, it is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Absolutely worth a visit, take time for a stroll and take some photos in its iconic, narrow stone streets. Duration: 30/40 minutes • Stop At: Azienda Agricola Brogioni Maurizio, Tuscany. Here you will embark on your first wine tasting! You will be hosted by a small producer of premium, high-quality wines. The production is fully manual, from the vineyard to the wine cellar. The Chianti Classico wine is produced in an organic-certified estate. In short, this is a unique experience to taste exceptional, high-quality wine! (Possibility to have a complete lunch with tasting, to be paid on the spot. 35€ pp.) Duration: 2 hours • Stop At: Badia a Passignano, Sambuca Val di Pesa, Tuscany. Make a stop to enjoy the view of the medieval borgo of Badia a Passignano. At the center of this protected area is a monastic complex, The Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo a Passignano, which is surrounded by beautiful cypresses. Indeed, in addition to the historical and architectural importance of the Abbey, the area has great importance from a landscape point of view. You will find typical elements of the Chianti landscape: hills covered by rows of vineyards, alternating with others covered with olive groves or woods. Duration: 30 minutes
