Wine
tasting in
Tuscany
can be an unforgettable experience. Especially
if it’s the smaller, less known vineyards one
visits.
|
 |
Many of these vineyards are
Tuscany
’s best kept secrets as the wines produced in
single vineyards truly capture the
characteristics of the land.
These vineyards intertwining between
silvery green olive groves covering the rolling
hills of
Tuscany
are more than enchanting.
Their vines, whose grapes bask all day
long under the warm Tuscan sun are more than a
simple gift from nature. Many of these grapes
have produced award winning wines.
Hand picked generation after generation,
these grapes and these grapes alone are what
make single vineyard wines special.

We
encourage guests to drive around the countryside
look for simple wine tasting signs along the
road in front of the smaller local vineyards.
Of course there are the bigger producers
who will always be easy to find by just
searching the net to get tour information and
hours. But
if you have the time to leisurely roam the
countryside we definitely suggest visiting a
smaller vineyard or two.
You’re sure to be pleasantly surprised. |

local organic vineyard together with wine and
olive oil tasting and a light lunch. If you have

If you find yourself travelling the
Cassia Route
between
Florence
and
Siena
on your way to the hill top villages of San
Gimignano or maybe Volterra be sure to stop off
in the quaint medieval hamlet of Barberino Val
D’Elsa . Between
the archways, under the ancient loggia
sits a charming wine bar whose organic prize
winning wines are worth a taste or two or
three...Canto di Baccio wine bar is an
enchanting little spot in a tiny piece of
paradise just waiting to be discovered.
Danila, the owner, speaks English and is
always happy to share her wines and tasty
appetizers with wine lovers from a far.
