Chianti with Kids
Gastronomy traditions are an important aspect of the Italian family, so give your own family an authentic Tuscan experience with a culinary day trip to Chianti with kids. After long days of sightseeing, your kids will appreciate an active day in the Tuscan countryside experiencing a different side to Italian life. Your private driver will pick you up and you’ll drive through one of Italy’s top wine producing regions since the eleventh century to your first activity: a tour of a family-owned, medieval wine estate, centered around a wine tasting for the parents and a farm animal visit for the kids. Adults and children alike will have plenty to keep them busy on the estate, both together and separately.
Next you’ll stopover at a castle belonging to the Frescobaldi, an Italian noble family that has been producing wine since the Middle Ages. Step back in time by taking in the majestic estate. Parents will have the chance to learn how wine is stored and aged, and enjoy a tasting of the estate’s labels. Your family will also taste the Frescobaldi’s pecorino cheeses, salami, prosciutto and olive oil! After a day of family fun and Tuscan tasting, your driver will return you to your accommodation.
