Depart Siena in the early afternoon, and drive past the vineyards of the Chianti wine lands: neat rows of vineyards, and landscapes shaped into works of art by the combined forces of nature and mankind.
Head to a Chianti wine estate to tour the grounds and wine cellars. Learn the winemaking process before sitting down to a tasting of local Chianti wines and olive oil. Explore the medieval fortress of Monteriggioni and marvel at its intact ring of walls and turrets.
Travel to the village of San Gimignano to enjoy the charming streets and laneways as the sun begins to set and daytime crowds have departed. Admire the medieval towers at a leisurely pace, and explore the many streets and squares. Visit the boutique stores of local crafts and products.
