Wine Touring in Tuscany & Umbria

Now in Italy, wine touring in Tuscany & Umbria is fast becoming as popular as visiting the beaches or the historical sites of Florence, Rome or Venice. Gotuscanyumbria.com offers convenient, affordable villas and farmhouses which can be used as an ideal base to tour this fascinating region.

It is said that Tuscany is the land of the Renaissance, the birth of new beginnings, where the church has reigned with near invincible power; wine has strong ties to both art and religion. Yet at the same time, wine had always been the most humble of Tuscan comforts that are present even today at almost every meal. Throughout Tuscany and Umbria you can explore fine wines from throughout the ages and taste for yourself why it maintains such astounding interest.

Through Gotuscanyumbria.com you can engage your senses as you are exposed to the fine wines of Tuscany and Umbria. To tour into the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle or just to have a break from the museums, is an experience not to be missed.

Whether it is to visit a north or south Chianti tour or combining a trip to San Gimignano to sample the famous white wine named Vernaccia di San Gimignano. It is also possible to visit the local oil mill. Alternatively, a trip to Montepulciano, where you wine lovers can learn more about the famous Nobile di Montepulciano red wine. This DOCG wine has nothing to envy to the Brunello di Montalcino which comes from a nearby area. This tour is for all those people that really like full body wines. You will have the opportunity to meet the owner of the winery who will be proud to explain the wine making process and he will talk you through the wine tasting of both Brunello DOCG and Rosso di Montalcino DOC wines. One of my favorites is a visit to the Museo Del Vino, Fondazione Lungarotti at Torgiano where the hospitality is superb and the range of classics, reserves and specialties is overwhelming.

The variety of wines throughout Tuscany and Umbria is exceptional. Enjoying visits to wineries, taking scenic drives through the magnificent Tuscan landscapes is pure joy! The wine tours are mostly about wine, obviously, but there are opportunities to taste and shop for local products, olive oil and, possibly, sample traditional balsamic vinegars of Modena. Most of the tours can be customized to meet your own interest and tastes. No opportunity should be missed through Gotuscanyumbria.com to be based in a local villa or farmhouse to visit the local villages and to taste the traditional products and cuisine, all of which are complemented by the local wine. Whether you are a novice or a “know it all’ there will always be something to stir your senses in Tuscany and Umbria!
