A day in Chianti

Chianti, a hilly area between the provinces of Florence and Siena well known for the production of one of the best wines on Earth, also offers unique landscapes.

This land is famous all over the world and is characterized by gently rolling hills with vineyards and olive groves interspersed with forests of pines or oaks, the resulting landscape is unique: the main characterization is in fact due to human intervention, and with

vineyards and olive groves has created an element of contrast with the forests of the area, helping to create this landscape so striking.

The route we suggest passing through the ancient Via Cassia, which connected Rome to Florence, and ancient Etruscan roads, through villages and small towns unknown to the general public, except for Radda in Chianti, the pearl of Chianti.

 

  • Badia a Passignano
  • Radda in Chianti
  • Volpaia
  • Montefioralle


The whole tour can be done easily in a day, taking the time to stop and admire the scenery and enjoy the local products in the many taverns and wine cellars.

If you need to rent a car for the tour, the best option is to contact some Florence car rent services and plan the route together. Our best suggestion are BluCar Service and Mundo Limousine (see their sites for details).

Enjoy.
