Oil, Cheese and Wine in Chianti – Half day
This excursion begins in the heart of Chianti, where we’ll visit Olio Maggi, a small farm, family run that produces different monocultivar extravirgin olive olis. Here the olives are grown organically with great care of the enviroment and pressed in the family mill. We’ll keep driving on the Chianti hills to reach the Corzano e Paterno winery and cheese farm, specialized in the production of cheeses with traditional methods, using the milk from the farm’s sheep. You will also taste their excellent wines.

Simon, CanadaWe did the Barolo tour in March 2023. Driver Toni and guide Maria were really wonderful. They were on schedule and knowledgeable of the area. The van was very comfortable and they were flexible to pick us up in one village (Torona) and drop us off in another city (Genoa) which really helped our travel logistics. We highly recommend.
