    The first vineyard you will visit is the acclaimed Castello di Verrazzano. Once an Etruscan and then Roman settlement, wine-making on this soil dates back to a thousand-year-old tradition. Does the name Verrazzano ring a bell? Yes, this vineyard belonged to the family of Giovanni Verrazzano, the 16th-century explorer who navigated the waters of New York.

    This vineyard estate has been running for over 1000 years, producing some of the best Chianti Classico wine in the world. With 52 hectares of vineyards, an ancient castle and cellar, there is much to see.

    Upon arrival, you will join a 1.5-hour Classic Chianti Wine tour led by the estate. On this tour, you will enjoy a guided visit to the Castle’s gardens and ancient cellars, followed by a guided tasting of some of the estate’s best wines. This will include their acclaimed ruby red Chianti Classico DOCG wine, with its intense scents and rich fruity flavors. You may also taste the estate’s own Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar

    After your tour in Castello di Verrazzano, your private driver will be ready to take you onto your next destination another nearby property. Once a convent, and now an elegant farm, you will enjoy being in a typical Italian farm-stay setting, known as an Agriturismo. Vineyards and olive groves surround the property, creating an exquisite countryside setting. Here you will enjoy a light Tuscan lunch with local wines produced by the estate. You will enjoy your lunch outside on their porch with very unique panoramic views overlooking the ancient town of San Gimignano. It is sure to take your breath away.

    There is a certain magic to the Chianti Hills, an area in the region of Tuscany. Here you will be immersed in the Italian countryside at its finest. Rolling hills and acres of vineyards as far as the eye can see. Farmhouses and Tuscan villas dotting the countryside, where locals cultivate their crops and visitors stop and taste their produce.

    This is what dreams of Italy are made of.
