Description

Wine and artisan food in Chianti

This excursion begins in the heart of the Tuscan oil kingdom - the hills around Impruneta, were we'll visit the Torrerossa oil farm. Here the olives are still collected by hand with the help of wood ladders leaning against the olive branches. Torrerossa still owns an old oil press, the oil is stored in antique enormous terracotta jars manufactured in Impruneta.

On S.Casciano hills, in the Chianti DOCG production area, we found the Corzano e Paterno winery and cheese farm,specialized in the production of cheeses with traditional methods, using the milk from the farm's sheep. You will also taste their excellent wines.

We offer full - day guided tours by private car or mini-bus. The tour includes wine cellar visits, guided visit to the cheese laboratory, wine and cheese tasting and lunch. Winery excursions may be scheduled for any date with two days advance notice, and can be conducted in your language. Pick-up service from participant's location can also be arranged.
