Descrizione della lezione

After your fantastic cooking class lunch, the fun continues! Your English-speaking driver with luxury minivan will come directly to MaMa Florence Cooking School to collect you for your small group Chianti Wine Tour in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Leaving the bustle of Renaissance Florence behind you, you will head out directly into what feels like a Renaissance painting with rolling green hills, stunning Castles and villas and charming country roads lined with majestic cypress trees. In just thirty minutes you will be in the heart of the beautiful Chianti Classico wine region, arriving to a historic winery producing perhaps the most well known wine in the world. You will meet with your qualified Chianti winery guide or estate owner, and have a tour of the property in English including the aging rooms and underground cantina. The Sangiovese grapes are harvested in September, followed by the crush and then different stages of fermentation and aging. You will learn about Chianti wine-making techniques and the history of this world-renowned red wine region before tasting the Chianti wines produced on the estate. After your winery tour, your driver will take you to a nearby charming Chianti village with its small streets and gourmet food and wine shops and typical town square before heading back to MaMa Florence in Florence.
