Chianti
September 7 - 15, 2008

Infused with a luxurious temperate climate and a wealth of artistic treasures, the undulating hills of Tuscany are blanketed with verdant vineyards and silvery olive groves, the legacy of a 3,000-year history of great food and extraordinary wine. Consummately Italian, yet uniquely Tuscan, Chianti is a land of bucolic farmsteads, dreamy castles and swaying cypress trees. Learn about its tradition of viticulture during a wine tasting. Travel through history to ancient times with a visit to Lucca, and marvel at the architectural gems in Siena. Admire the Chianti countryside during a scenic drive that also showcases some of the region’s charming towns.

Journey to the Renaissance capital of Florence for a full day exploring its priceless art, stately palaces and gorgeous cathedrals. Marvel at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, see the bronze doors of the Baptistery and stroll over the famed Arno River on the Ponte Vecchio, lined with gold stores. Whether this is your first visit or a return journey, Chianti is always a sure delight.
