Taste the Chianti Classico

Meet the Chianti Classico region in the heart of Tuscany during this wine tour! Enjoy her world-famous wines and excellent cuisine. We visit architecturally special wineries such as the famous cantina Antinori. Daan ter Avest guides us and provides comments to the architecture.

Tuscany is characterized by a wide variety of wine regions that are very different in location, landscape and wine. Over the last few years, around thirty new wine cellars have been built with impressive architecture. This is the first in a series of tours with the title Cathedrals of wine. In this tour we focus on the Chianti Classico region.
