From Siena: Chianti and San Gimignano Sunset Tour – Tuscany, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Explore the Chianti wine region and the hilltop town of San Gimignano on a sightseeing and wine-tasting tour from Siena. Travel in a small group and enjoy comfortable transfers by air-conditioned vehicle.

Depart Siena in the early afternoon, and drive past the vineyards of the Chianti wine lands: neat rows of vineyards, and landscapes shaped into works of art by the combined forces of nature and mankind.
Head to a Chianti wine estate to tour the grounds and wine cellars. Learn the winemaking process before sitting down to a tasting of local Chianti wines and olive oil. Explore the medieval fortress of Monteriggioni and marvel at its intact ring of walls and turrets.

Travel to the village of San Gimignano to enjoy the charming streets and laneways as the sun begins to set and daytime crowds have departed. Admire the medieval towers at a leisurely pace, and explore the many streets and squares. Visit the boutique stores of local crafts and products.

Enjoy a typical Tuscan dinner at a local farm in the countryside. Taste the white wine of San Gimignano, the Vernaccia, or have some local Chianti red wine. Weather permitting, dinner will be served outdoors. Return to Siena after dinner.
