As the July heat and humidity descends upon Florence, our minds turn to getting out of town and into the cool of the countryside.
Discover the genius behind the Chianti Classico and Gallo Nero wines by walking through the vineyards where they are produced. Nestled in the valleys between Florence and Siena, the Chianti region offers natural beauty and incomparable culinary treasures. Walk along cypress-lined country roads and strade bianche (gravel roads), strolling through the shade of oak, beech and chestnut woods. As the Tuscan sun shines and the golden Chianti countryside reflects your delight, it’s almost like stepping into a Renaissance painting.
Treat your mind and body to a self-guided walking tour from Florence to Siena, passing by Fiesole, Settignano and the Chianti towns of Greve, Panzano and Radda. Organized by S-cape Travel, step back in time, visiting an ancient Roman amphitheatre and the area’s outstanding wineries, meet friendly locals and eat and drink like a deity: your perfect Tuscan summer.
