We meet you at your Hotel, in Florence, and drive east to meet the winemaker, Luigi Donato. Best described as an Expert Gardner, Winemaker and Professor, he grows the ultra rare Pulignano. A clone of Sangiovese, and it only grows on their hill! The botanical garden and historical estate of Bibbiani, are amazing gems. See a catalog of rare and fantastic trees, as we tour the grounds, the cellars, and taste the wines.
We continue our adventure south to the Chianti where we find ourselves at Podere Ciona, deep in the heart of this region. A large estate amongst the olive trees and vineyards. We arrive just in time for a lite lunch and a tasting of the families Super Tuscans. After our tasting, we take a beautiful hike through the countryside, where vineyards dot the land for as far as the eye can see. Relax and enjoy this lovely estate.
Here, our tour ends, in Montevarchi where we can take time to visit the Prada Outlet, if you like. After, you are escorted onto your train for your short ride back to the renaissance city of Florence where you can make plans for dinner, if you can find room, as you continue, or bring to an end, your fabulous holiday.
This is an ideal de"tour" to plan if you are spending several days in Florence.
Everything in this itinerary is included.
