ABOUT THE AREA:

Chianti covers a rather large wine-producing region of Tuscany, reaching from Florence to Siena, and all the way out to Pisa. The breathtaking scenery looks like a rich patchwork quilt with its seemingly endless backdrop of emerald green hills lined with grapevines and olive groves, its woods filled with chestnut and oak trees, vineyards filled with San Giovese grapes turning rich red in the fall, and long elegant cypress trees cutting into the skyline. Chianti, it has got to be one of the best road trip destinations for foodies and oenophiles alike, so although Chianti is famous for his beautiful rolling hills, other pleasures are enhancing the local experience: food, wine and shopping. It’s impossible to truly experience even the best of Chianti in a day or even a week. Each turn on the Strada del Vino leads to yet another incredible view and another great meal. To enjoy Chianti, you will need a lifetime!
