We arrive at a Tuscan castle replete with historical cellars where the famous barrels of Chianti Classico are kept under lock and key. We visit the vineyard, gardens and reception rooms of the castle, and afterwards enjoy a tasting of snacks and fine wines. We then move on to Greve to visit the historic square surrounded by open galleries and arcades where you can wander around the traditional shops.


The tour continues to Castellina in Chianti, a characteristic ancient hamlet set on a hill and nestled between stretches of vineyards and olive groves. By the evening we reach San Donato in Poggio, an ancient settlement located in a fortified castle that dates back to the 11th century. Here we find a characterful tavern in the heart of this magical village where a typical Chianti dinner of T-bone steak complimented by local wine will be served to you. Saluti!
