Description
Starting in central Florence, your English-speaking driver will take you on a scenic drive to the heart of Chianti along the ancient Roman Cassia Vetus road. You will pass rolling hills dotted with vineyards and olive groves.
Your first stop is the medieval village of Greve in Chianti, birthplace of Giovanni da Verrazzano, the 15th-century Florentine explorer of Hudson Bay. Afterwards, visit the hilltop hamlet of Montefioralle, with its well-preserved 12th-century stone streets. Here, you can admire far-reaching views and learn about the “Black Rooster” emblem of Chianti Classico.
Next is a visit to a family-run wine estate featuring medieval cellars where original oak barrels are used for wine aging. You will learn about the production of the region’s extra-virgin olive oil and how to identify genuine quality.
