We will leave Florence, driving along the famous Chianti Classico Wine Route. Before reaching Greve, we will visit the castle of Vicchiomaggio for our first wine tasting experience of Chianti Classico. A few miles ahead, we will allow ourselves a treat, by visiting the small town of Greve. This is the home of Da Verrazzano, founder of the Hudson Bay, and today's capital of the Chianti region.
We will also stop at Montefioralle, a small village above Greve, which still preserves its medieval architectural flavor. As we depart Greve we will encounter the beautiful Vignamaggio estate, which belonged to Monna Lisa's family. This was the setting of the hit movie "Much Ado about Nothing". Today's owner is one of the best Chianti masters. After a nice meal with a Chianti at a local farm, we can tailor the afternoon to your personal tastes: there are more Wineries that will be happy to show you their cellars or we can stop at the Bonollo grappa distillery; if you have had enough Baccus for one day we can visit the beautiful Abbey of Passignano or visit Rampini, a wonderful ceramic factory in the area.
