Tuscan Wine Harvest

The Tuscan Wine Harvest was the first group trip that we did once in Florence. And the first time that we really got to see the Tuscan country side and experience first hand how the Chianti regions wines (that we’ve been drinking plenty of) are made. We went to a vineyard called “Castello di Tavolese” and had a really nice tour of the place. They tried to explain to us how the wines were made. However, there was a very strong language barrier and most of the information that was attempted to be communicated was lost in translation.
Despite this slight hiccup it was quite the experience and I learned a lot more about wine than I would have otherwise known! Plus, the landscapes were unreal.
