The Chianti region is one of the world's most famous wine districts, and Florence is located right in the centre of this area. The landscape is unique, with green hills and vineyards lying next to olive groves and cypress trees. It is such beautiful scenery that many internationally renowned directors have set their movies here. And one of the best ways to explore the region is by booking a wine-tasting tour. You will visit two top-rated Chianti wineries, where you will sample different varieties of wines along with olive oil and Tuscan specialities like cheese, salami, cured ham, and bruschetta — a must-do for any wine lover.
