Visit two traditional wineries in the Chianti Classico region, where expert winemakers will guide you through the vineyards and cellars, sharing their passion and knowledge. Enjoy guided tastings of fine local wines, including Chianti Classico DOCG, paired with Tuscan delicacies such as bruschetta, salami, and pecorino cheese.
