Cheese in Chianti – Half day
In one of the most famous areas for wine production, the Chianti hills, sheep and goats are also bred, and produce some of the most delicious cheeses in the region. Both the geography and climate in this area favour the production of goat and sheep cheese. Young producers have made innovations to classical production methods, introducing new techniques in the curing and fermentation process. We will help you in discovering these wonderful products, and of course accompanying these cheeses will be marvellous local wines.

Janet, USAI want you to know how very much our group enjoyed the Tuscan winery and lunch tour you organized. Every winery was different and had something special and unique to add to our education and experience of wines in Tuscany. We particularly loved having Valentina as our guide. Thank you again for creating an experience none of us will ever forget.
