A very special day, in the heart of Chianti, with a real wine maker, Lawrence d'Almeida.
Mr d'Almeida is of Franco-American nationality, has studied at Yale and Harvard, and is now the winemaker at a small but promising winery in Greve-in-Chianti. We have tasted their wine and we can assure you that it is exceptional. The program is structured so that you will spend the morning with Lawrence, and you will see what a winemaker's life is like. You will begin by visiting the vineyard and will be lead through the process of wine making from the planting of the vines, through harvest and fermentation, to barrel aging and bottling. Naturally the tour will end with a guided wine tasting of Lawrence's very good wine. At the end of the morning you will have a light lunch in a local Trattoria and taste the typical Tuscan cuisine, after lunch you will visit the town of Greve-in-Chianti and will be back in Florence by 4.30 PM.
