The Grape Escape Day Trip for Backpackers by Norcenni Tours

Tour Itinerary

Join our fun day trip to the Chianti countryside and discover why the area is famous for its scenery as well as its wine.

The first stop will be in a wine tasting school where you will learn about wine and extra virgin olive oil from a wine passionate producer. At the end of the day you will be able to recognise the flavours, the bouquet and the age of the wine.

The second stop will be at a local winery located in a stunning area well known for the production of the D.O.C.G. Vernaccia white wine facing the famous towers of San Gimignano. The wine makers will guide you through the vineyards and they will share the secrets of the wine and oil production as well as the best wine and food combinations.

Finally we will enjoy a home-style lunch at the winery based on Typical Tuscan fresh dishes made with local ingredients. In the afternoon you will free time to visit and spend time wandering though the narrow streets shopping in the local shops in the most beautiful medieval town of Tuscany, San Gimignano and check out the tower filled skyline while eating the ice cream from the world champion ice cream making gelateria.

Tour recommended for 18-35 year old indipendent travellers.
