Chianti |
This is one of our favourite excursions and very popular with our
clients.
We will take you into the very heart of Tuscany. You will drive
through the soft round hillsides that change color every season of the
year and offering always its only very best to its visitors. The air
captures the rich aromas of the cypress trees, olive groves and of
course the world famous vinyards!! Few have resisted its charm and
many foreigners have chosen this magical countryside for their
vacations ( the British Prime Minister Tony Blair) or their home (the
pop star Sting) .

The wine making area is divided into specific zones , the most known,
among many, are the Chianti Classico with Gallo Nero (Black Rooster)
label and the Chianti Putto ("Putto") label .
The day would not be complete without a
visit to some of the best wineries for wine
tasting. You will live the experience of
sipping these superb wines where they are
made and explore the wineries' beautiful
buildings and surroundings.
Our staff will be happy to help you with the
shipment if you choose to purchase any wine during you visit.

San Gimignano |
Probably the most famous
small towns in Italy, there
are few places that evoke,
with as much power, the
atmosphere of mediaeval
Tuscany.
San Gimignano dominates
the surrounding area (Val
d'Elsa) with its breathtaking
skyline, bristling with
towers. Only fifteen of the original seventy-two towers survive today.
These towers represented wealth and influence more than security
and defense: the higher the tower the richer the family.
To complete your experience in this town , remind your driver to take
you to taste the well known white wine of this town: Vernaccia di San
Gimignano. A breathtaking experience of a different kind!

Arezzo |
Arezzo, founded by the Etruscans
and at one time one of their most
important
settlements, is the Tuscan City of
Gold. The weath of the city is based
on the numerous jewellers and
goldsmiths, with a useful fallback
being the antique shops for which
Arezzo is famous.
The town fans out from the top of
the hill , being the oldest part of the city, going down towards the
more modern and businesslike town.
The church of San Francesco and the Archeological Museum , that
hosts an impressive collection of Roman remains, must be seen during
your visit.
