Want to visit vineyard and olive orchard in Tuscany.?

Question

We will be in Tuscany October 11 and 12. We would like to visit a vinyard and winery and also an olive orchard and processor. Can someone recommend a specific place for each; not just city, but business name also? Someone in the area?

Answer 1

You don't say which area of Tuscany you will be in (it's makes a difference -- there are hundreds of these producers) or whether you'll have your own transportation. It's hard to do a lot of this just using public transport -- you'll want to rent a car or get a car and driver.

Check out www.cucinaconvista.it -- I know that they do these kinds of tours. Or contact me directly with the info above and I can maybe help you with more specifics.

I'm not from the area but I did a tour of a wine cellar once. There are many, so you shouldn't have a problem finding the right tour for your stay.

Enjoy an excursion to one of the most famous areas of Tuscany, known all over the world for its wine and countryside of unequalled beauty. Alternating woods with vines and olive trees, where Romanesque Churches, farmhouses, Villas and Castles of rare beauty are to be found.

This tour includes a visit to a place of particular historic and artistic interest in an old village, and of one of the most renowned castle farms with a snack and tasting of its prestigious wines. The tours are carried out in different areas of the Chianti region, and the trip from Florence to Chianti is approximately 40 minutes each way

also, email the florence or siena tourist offices directly & they will give you up to date info as to which allow tourists & times.  they can also hook you up w/ a tour which can get you into the private vinyards & olive oil processors....generally, it does no good to just drop in....
