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.

Melissa, USAI’ve just returned from Italy and I want to thank you for putting together such a wonderful itinerary for us! The drivers were excellent, as was Claudia, our guide in Spoleto & Spello. The restaurants you selected — equally fantastic. I hope to return to Italy again soon and will certainly reach out when I do.
