Unbelievable Chianti Wine Tour with Vittorio

AUS
To visit Tuscany and do a wine tour was one item definitely on my bucket list. On a recent tour of Europe, my friend and I took a side step and booked this fabulous tour at the very last minute. Vittorio picked us up from Central Florence, which was easy and took us and two other girls to three magnificent vineyards in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Our first stop was Tenuta La Novella where we were welcomed by Josie. What a fabulous vineyard set high in the Tuscan Hills. Vittorio shared his excellent knowledge of the wines as did Josie about the process of making wine. We were treated with generous tastings and also locally grown olive oil, which was amazing. We were then treated with a fabulous lunch by Michel at Tenuta Montiani Winery who was as passionate about his food as his wine. It was such a treat to indulge in locally grown products and recipes that had been handed down in generations. Michel made us feel right at home and, as one would expect, we overindulged! Our final winery was La Sala where we were well looked after by Lorenzo. Lorenzo was so much fun, very knowledgeable and also had a fantastic sense of humor. Again, the wines were amazing. I fell in love with Tuscany even more, when I thought I couldn't. After a fantastic day, Vittorio was kind enough to take us to an amazing scenic lookout where we were able to take fabulous photos of the beautiful city of Florence. I honestly thought I had died and gone to heaven....and I did say, that if I died right then, I was going to die happy. I would certainly recommend this tour. Vittorio was very knowledgeable and all the hosts at the wineries made us feel more than welcome. Now on my bucket list is a return to Tuscany and to stay in a Tuscan Villa
