Visit a winery in the hearth of the Chianti region for your tour and tasting session

After visiting the vineyard and the cellar, sit back, relax and sip on different wines. Depending on availability, there are different wines offered, but typically a glass of Chianti Classico, Chianti Reserve, the Tuscan vinsanto (dessert wine) or a prestigious white wine are served, along with the wonderful explanations of the Sommelier.

Your tour driver will be happy to suggest some typical, local traditional Tuscan restaurants in the area, or if you wish can be set up in the same winery.  After lunch you will visit some other agricultural estates.

A real treat, for those of you docked in Livorno!
