Produced in the undulating hills of the Tuscan countryside between Florence and Siena, the famous Chianti Classico wine is known and celebrated all over the world. Tidy rows of vineyards set amidst historic villages and silvery-green olive trees are a scenic backdrop. 

Stop in Greve in Chianti with its picturesque, asymmetrical main piazza. It is lined by a succession of palaces, porticoes and loggias with the rebuilt church of Santa Croce at one end, housing beautiful Renaissance paintings from the School of Fra Angelico. At the other end of the piazza stands a statue of the explorer, Giovanni da Verrazzano, who discovered New York Harbor.

Then head to the Casaloste Vineyards, known for their fine Chianti Classico and Riserva wines and visit their cellars. Then head to the cellars of the Setriolo Estate in Castellina in Chianti to learn how grapes become wine . . . Fantastico!
