Our accommodation
After everyone has arrived, we will drive to our base, a beautiful Tenuta, a gorgeous estate perched on a hill right in the middle of the Chianti area with stunning views over the trolling hills of Tuscany. The Tenuta is an ancient family farm that has been fully renovated . Lounge by the pool, pay a visit to the sauna or have a bath in the jacuzzi, with a glass of rosso, red wine, and enjoy your stay, this is everything you imagined Tuscany to be. In the afternoon, after having checked in, we will have a wine tasting and then a dinner in a local restaurant not before having stopped for a proper aperitivo in a nearby village.

Espresso, breakfast, and then get dirty in the vineyards, visit and chat with the winemaker that will continue over lunch. In the evening, we will visit a nearby village for an aperitivo and a Tuscan dinner.

Saturday - Maremma
9:30 am and we’re off to taste some of the best wines from Maremma. We will be heading to two wineries and have lunch together. Fantastico!
Maremma has proved to be a wonderful place for grapes such as Viognier, Petit Verdot and Vermentino and we will taste them and a few more, with an explanation of the terroir, the wine making process, Supertuscans, and we’ll have a vertical tasting, tasting of several vintages of the same wine. On the way back, we will stop in Siena where you’ll have some free time for a coffee in Piazza del Campo and some Tuscan shopping.
We’ve been busy for a few days eating and drinking, so tonight is a free evening for you to explore the local village or just relax in the Tenuta.
