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.

Kevin, USAI would like to share a huge thank you for your assistance with our trip to Siena and Tuscany yesterday. The trip was fantastic, Siena and Tuscany are beautiful and quite unforgettable, and the wineries visits were excellent. The personal aspect of both wineries plus the very good wine made both locations very enjoyable.
