One of the world's most famous wine regions is located between Florence and Siena.The rolling hillsides and beautiful scenery start 20km South of Florence, and travels in several directions through the Tuscan countryside.
Public transport does not exist in this area so car travel is the best form of transport. Car rental agencies are available in Florence, with the drive being pleasant and uncomplicated although roads can be small, hilly and winding. Wineries are scattered through the rolling hills with huge Tuscan mansions located at the heart of them. When you are not driving through vineyards it's olive groves that line the roads. Most of the larger vineyards have cellar door sales and tasting, however, it is advisable to book as they often only have the tasting as part of a meal or a tour. Signs that say Degustazione or Venditta Diretta usually indicate these wineries.
