Visit the famous Chianti Wine Region

The heartland of Tuscany is lush with green, fertile plains.  Here a farming heritage has produced some of the world’s most esteemed gourmet delicacies.  Balsamic vinegar aged to sweet, tangy perfection, a piece of Pecorino cheese with an ever-so-slight crunch, a slice of salty, intense prosciutto ham; these are the flavors that await you.

Your delicious Balsamic Vinegar and Pecorino Tour begins when your private English-speaking driver picks you up from your accommodations.  Your first visit will be to a fine Pecorino producer in the San Gimignano and Chianti area.  You will discover the secrets of Pecorino.  A tasting of these savory regional specialties will start your day.

Your Balsamic Vinegar and Pecorino Tour continues around Chianti, the famous wine region.  A culinary secret even to Italians outside this small city until approximately 20 years ago, authentic Balsamic vinegar is made from local grapes and aged for at least 12 years in special wooden barrels.  The vinegar is frequently aged much longer, even surpassing 25 years in aging barrels!  The secrets of authentic Balsamic vinegar have been passed down by local women for generations, and the aging barrels were so valuable they were included in a bride’s dowry. After visiting an acetaia (Balsamic vinegar maker) and tasting the delicious, sweet, tangy flavors, you will enjoy a delicious meal either at the acetaia or a traditional trattoria.  You’ll enjoy excellent classic recipes like homemade pasta and cured meats, particularly the Prosciutto ham that have made this area famous.
