If you’re interested in sampling the renowned wine whilst visiting Tuscany, you’ll have a few different options to choose from. Whether you’re a connoisseur or a keen amateur, a Chianti wine tour is a must-do. Although exploring the vineyards solo can be fun, there are so many benefits to joining a small group - one of them being no driving! A group tour means having your own expert guide who will reveal the fascinating winemaking history of the region. You’ll visit some of the most famous vineyards, and being in a group means you’ll get to enjoy a convivial Tuscan lunch before moving on to the next stop. Drinking good wine and meeting new like-minded people is what this kind of experience is all about. Here are a few more reasons why it could be the best option for you. Sample as much as you like One of the best things about joining a group Chianti wine tour is that you don’t have to be behind the wheel. This means more wine-tasting opportunities! Not having to drive takes away the hassle of finding parking as well and makes the whole experience easier. No difficult driving Speaking of driving, if Italy is famous for its wine first, the second thing it’s known for is the difficult driving. With winding roads, steep hills and locals speeding around every corner, passing the responsibility over to someone else makes for a much more relaxed (and safer) journey. Local guide One of the very best things about joining a Chianti wine tour is that you’ll get access to your own personal guide. Having someone who knows their stuff about the region and all that it has to offer will make your trip even more memorable and enjoyable. Quality site visits Joining a guided group tour means that you can rest assured that you’ll be taken to the best sites that Tuscany has to offer. With an experienced tour operator, you’ll visit the area’s best estates and sample not only the signature drinks, but also learn about its unique history and how to artfully pair food with wine. Where you’ll go There are many fantastic places to visit and exploring becomes even more fun knowing that all the details are already taken care of. Here are just a few of the beautiful areas you could discover on a Chianti wine tour. Rignana Journey through ancient woodlands and those signature Tuscan hills as you make your way to Rignana, an excellent restaurant and winery typical to the region. Delicious food and wine await!
