Wine tasting in Tuscany can be an unforgettable experience. Especially if it's the smaller, less known vineyards one visits.
|
 |
Many of these vineyards are Tuscany 's best kept secrets as the wines produced in single vineyards truly capture the characteristics of the land. These vineyards intertwining between silvery green olive groves covering the rolling hills of Tuscany are more than enchanting. Their vines, whose grapes bask all day long under the warm Tuscan sun are more than a simple gift from nature. Many of these grapes have produced award winning wines. Hand picked generation after generation, these grapes and these grapes alone are what make single vineyard wines special. |

We encourage guests to drive around the countryside look for simple wine tasting signs along the road in front of the smaller local vineyards. Of course there are the bigger producers who will always be easy to find by just searching the net to get tour information and hours. But if you have the time to leisurely roam the countryside we definitely suggest visiting a smaller vineyard or two. You're sure to be pleasantly surprised. |

If you have a small group who would like to take a walk through a local organic vineyard then settle in for a tasting and possibly a light lunch, just email and I would be happy to send particulars or put you in contact with who conducts these personalized walks and winery visits.

| For those of you aimlessly roaming the countryside in your rented car and happen to find yourself travelling the Cassia route that runs between Florence and Siena, be sure to stop off in the quaint medieval hamlet of Barberino Val D'Elsa. For within the folds of its gothic archways, under the ancient loggia in the hamlet's tiny square, sits a charming wine bar whose organic, prize winning wines are worth a taste or two, or even three! Canto di Baccio wine bar is an enchanting place nestled in this slice of paradise. Danila, the shop owner, speaks English and is always happy to introduce her wines and tasty appetizers to vino lovers. Her shop is also the perfect place to find artisian crafts peeking around bottles of wine and organic olive oil. |
