“Chianti”<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, usually refers to the Chianti Classico wine region<\/strong><\/a> of the province of Tuscany, Italy, located between the “art cities” of Florence<\/b> to the north and Sienna<\/b> to the south. “Chianti<\/em>” is the name of the wine region but the wine from Chianti is known as Chianti Classico<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, to distinguish it from the other Chianti wines that come from areas of Tuscany outside Chianti the region. If you like wine, then one of the great pleasures of a visit to Chianti is to taste wines at the wineries where they are produced as well as to take advantage of the selections available in supermarkets to accompany your meals with an interesting (and inexpensive) bottle of Chianti Classico.<\/p>\n The Chianti countryside is famous for its gentle hills and characteristic combination of vineyards, olive groves and forests, dotted with red-tiled farmhouses, mediaeval churches and towers, abbeys, castles and magnificent villas. In addition to great places to stay, Chianti offers a wonderful range of things to do including wine tours, hot air ballooning, hiking, horseback riding, cycling, shopping, photography and so on and on.<\/p>\n Here in our Chianti sightseeing and tourist information portal we present an ever-increasing range of useful information about the main attractions, sights, food and events of Chianti as well as access to the best accommodations in Chianti.
