I went on the castle of Chianti wine tour and it was one of the best trips I have been on while in Florence. The day started off very smoothly. We were picked up right on time and shuttled to our first wine tour. Vittorio, our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and was able to answer every one of my questions. When we finally got to the first vineyard the woman who owned the vineyard met us outside and showed us the grapes and cellar. The view from the vineyard was beautiful, and we were able to see how beautiful Tuscany really is. After going through the cellar we got a chance to taste the wine. There was no pressure at all to buy any wine and the atmosphere was very relaxing. However, I purchased two bottles because the wine was phenomenal. Vittorio taught us all how to swirl, smell, and drink the wine. I had no idea how to do any of that before the tour. After the first vineyard we went to get lunch at a cute little restaurant. Everything was planned out perfectly and the food and espresso were delicious. After lunch we went to the Castle where we went on a tour inside which was beautiful. We also saw where they processed their wine. After that we tried a selection of their wines and also sampled olive oil. Everything at the castle was great and we even learned how to taste the olive oil. Overall the day was amazing, and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great wine tour experience around Tuscany.
