Day 18 - Tuscany Vineyard Tours

Today we headed for the Chianti area with Angelo Rocca our private chauffeur http://www.rentcarwithdriver.it/ . The area between Florence and Siena is one of the most renowned areas for wine production in the world taking its name circa 13C. We stopped at the estate, Castellor di Verrazzano, for wine tasting. The next stop of our tour was the quaint village of Chianti. On our way back to Florence, we visited Castello di Gabbiano which gave us another spectacular view of the hills dotted with farmhouses, villas, castles, turreted hamlets, olive-groves and vineyards.

Words cannot describe what I saw today. It is too beautiful. I will let the pictures speak for me.
