Itinerary

A unique experience designed to give you only the best of what the Chianti region has to offer in its various declinations: the history, the landscapes, the wine and culinary traditions and the incomparable atmospheres. Other than enjoying a delicious typical dinner of local products and dishes, you will be surrounded by the splendid and charming landscape made of vineyard rows, which so quaintly characterize the Chianti region. The dishes that you will taste, all made of fresh local products, are the fruit of the hard work and care for the land that local producers have been exercising for centuries.

Upon your arrival you will be given a glass for you to carry along the visit of the farm’s wineries and thus enjoy a number of wine tastings on this small-scaled wine route. The dinner location will be set to offer you maximum quality and cosiness, as it will be decorated with candles and torches. The gentle sounds of the earth and the vineyards will accompany your dinner under the stars. You will taste pappa al pomodoro or ribollita (both typical recipes from the people’s folklore) and a barbecue of meat and fresh seasonal vegetables of the farm.

Stop At:

• Chianti Road, Italy
• Rocca di Castellina, Castellina In Chianti Italy
• Localita Poggio Amorelli, 53011, Castellina In Chianti Italy

I was really looking forward to this this trip and thought it was going to be the highlight of our vacation. I really wanted to see the Tuscan countryside and experience eating outside in the vineyards. However, it was raining and we had to wait for the bus in the rain for an hour because the bus was late. By the time we got out of the city, it was too dark to see any scenery. We arrived at the location, which was very nice, but again, too dark to appreciate it. We ate inside and for the most part, the people we were seated with were nice. The tour guide explained about the wines which were pretty good. The food was marginal which included some kind of dish which was bread crumbs mixed with tomato sauce, and dried out BBQ meat. The bruschetta, meat and cheeses were all very good. On the bus ride home, a woman who had too much wine and was sitting in the seat across the aisle from us, was throwing up. All in all, this trip was extremely disappointing. However it was mainly due to the weather and other circumstances. If I were to make suggestions to the tour company they would be: Start this trip earlier in the day so people can enjoy the scenery and give a tour of the vineyards and wine making process. Make sure you use a reliable bus company that will be on time. Don't make everyone wait in the rain. Change the menu by dropping the tomato mush dish and including pasta, and change the dried out BBQ meat to something else.

Overall a nice tour. Leaves late in the afternoon so you have all day in Florence. The drive is fairly long but with some great views of the mountains and the area. When you arrive they serve appetizers with a tasting of three wines. The two better ones are served last, and are not part of the dinner. The terrace has a nice view of the vineyards below. Afterwards you walk down to the dinner tables set in between the rows of vines with a bbq pit right there. Food is abundant but not spectacular.
