Tuscany
Rolling hillsides swathed in rows upon rows of emerald vines, idyllic farmhouses flanked by tall cypress trees, and hilltop medieval castles – the Tuscan countryside is always a spectacular sight, never mind the source of plenty of premium vino! For a romantic rendezvous or an enlightening vineyard tour, Italy’s best known wine region is divine, especially during the autumn harvest season when you can really get in on the grape-stomping action and taste the fruits of your labor. The highlight of the area is no doubt Chianti, Italy’s most famous and arguably most beautiful wine district. Bordered by the suburbs of Florence to the north and by the city of Siena to the south, Chianti is decked out in gothic bastions, olive groves, and 10,000 acres of sprawling vineyards, all in the shadow of protective mountains.
