Located in Tuscany, Central Italy, Chianti is a winery heaven where the famous Italian Chianti wine is produced. A visit here takes a traveller to the centre of the wine, food and natural beauty of Italy. Travelling by car is the easiest way to get around and accommodations vary from apartments in large villas to luxury historic farm houses. "The best way to tour the wineries and sample their products is on the last Sunday of May when many producers throughout Italy open their doors for the festival of Cantine Aperte. Tastings are free and reservations unnecessary, so if you like wine and happen to be in Tuscany at the time, this is a fantastic opportunity for you." ~excerpt from WikiTravel
