Overview

Embark on an adventure that will take you through the fascinating hills of the Chianti, crossing the iconic gravel roads of the Eroica, revealing, in a slow and contemplative way, an area rich in food and wine traditions, cradle of the famous Chianti Classico wine (tasting included) and proud of its tradition and culture linked to the long rivalry between Siena and Florence. In addition, the experience includes a guided tour of one of Chianti's most characteristic castles, the castle of Brolio, from which you can take in magnificent panoramic views to the vineyards and the city of Siena. To experience the most out of the territory, we'll book lunch at a local family owned restaurant where you, in addition to enjoying its tranquility and warm welcome, can savour the dishes of the Tuscan tradition. On our way back, we'll will make a stop at one of Italy's most beautiful villages, San Gusmé, where time seems to flow in a different pace.
