Visiting the cellars of the Chianti region and Tuscany

Many people when they drink a bottle of Chianti, or another Tuscan wine, do not know the story behind that glass. Very often you can read some information on the label, but this informations are limited.

For this reason the best way to know a wine is to visit the winery that produce it. In Tuscany and in Chianti many wineries offer to wine lovers or tourists, the opportunity to make a wine tasting at the winery and the tour of the cellars.

This type of visit and tasting allows the customer who buys the wine to speak directly with the owner, knowing the history and compare their own tastes with the decisions of the winemaker

Often, a wine tasting in Chianti is accompanied by some snacks  with typical products of Tuscany.

Wine in Tuscany is not only a product of the vine, but the result of our history, a culture that has been handed down for centuries and especially the passion of many men and women who do this work.
