Explore the Chianti region and its famous wine on this day tour from Siena.

This trip was amazing!! Danielle was an amazing guide and so knowledgeable about wine, especially the Chianti region. This trip is not touristy and it really gives you an authentic experience. You visit a castle and get a glass of wine there, then you visit a small local winery where you get multiple tastings and a large lunch. Then you visit an old villa for more wine tastings and snacks. We ended up having a ton of wine and food. Definitely worth the cost!
