Chianti Winery Tour + Cooking Class + SanGimignano and more.. (6 hours, incl. up to 1 visitors)
Description
In our comfortable 8 seats minivan you will be taken to the heart of Chianti region. Following the historical “Francigena way” we reach the gates of San Gimignano, one of the most famous medieval hill towns in Italy. After a guided tour around the town, our guests will be invited to have a gelato from an exceptional gelateria.
Learning about the traditional Tuscan cuisine is an experience full of celebration and satisfaction. You will create authentic antipasti, understand the magic of local olive oil, roll your own pasta, enjoy your genuine lunch and relish the dessert.
Then we will tour the wine cellar of an 18th century villa in the heart of the ‘Chianti Classico’ area, receiving an up close look at the production and ageing process of wines with an in depth explanation from an English speaking wine expert.
On our way home we will stop at piazzale Michelangelo which has been nominated one of the top 10 most romantic spots in Europe.

Reviews for Chianti Wine, Food and Little Towns
This was the perfect day! The tour guides, especially the one that lead most of the tour, were all very friendly, easygoing, and outgoing. The horseback riding gave wonderful views of Tuscany, and they have horses to meet all riding levels. The couple that did the vespa tour got back about 20 minutes after the horseback tour did, so we got some fresh wine to pass the time! We ate the provided meal at a restaurant in a castle perched on a large hill. I got gnocchi, and it was delicious. We also got two bottles of wine between the four people that took the tour--oh geeze!. The wine tasting was also at the castle, and the wines were very enjoyable. Careful of the Grappa, though! Ultimately, the trip took up the majority of the day.
