Operated by Chianti Wine Tour · San Gimignano, Tuscany
You step from a shaded minivan into the low, golden slope of Chianti hills; olive trees lean toward the sun and cattle graze in a field that smells faintly of hay and warm milk. A family-run farmhouse opens its doors to explain the seasons written into every wheel of cheese and every press of oil. You move through a cowshed and then a goat fold, hearing the animals’ steady rhythms as the guide outlines biodynamic practices and hands you a slice still warm with culture.
