You will experience a genuine, family run, wine estate with medieval cellars where prestigious original oak barrels are still used for aging the wine. Learn the secrets behind the making of the regions’ extra-virgin olive oil, and find out the best way to recognize a genuine one.

Your experience will end in the proper Chianti way, with a typical Tuscan meal that you will get to enjoy on the private estate.
