Highlights
-
Castellina in Chianti - Rural villages around the world have long celebrated their hard work at the end of the harvest with joyous feasts and wine-making festivities, representing a deeper spiritual connection to the Earth. Areas of viticulture celebrate this moment with the ancient tradition of grape-stomping. Still today scenes of girls with knee-high skirts squishing grapes under their feet come to mind as an Italian symbol, as we have seen in classic TV shows like
I Love Lucy.

Additional Information
Regions known for wine production honor the culmination of the gathering season by stomping grapes with their feet. The iconic sight of women in knee-length skirts trampling the fruit has become a hallmark of Italy and has prominently figured in the ‘I Love Lucy’ film. This excursion is strongly suggested for individuals seeking an unique adventure and the perfect snapshots for online platforms. The journey encompasses a tour of a vineyard and a wine tasting session; guests, contingent on the times of year, may either harvest grapes themselves or press grapes that have been procured earlier.

Perfect Tuscany Experience - This ended our trip beautifully. We had the best experience. Ariana was fabulous and super knowledgeable. We learned about the vineyard and the wines and the chianti region. Then, we did some grape stomping which was just a fun, unique experience. Afterwards we went a very cute tasting room and had the best wines. We had so many tasty treats to go with 9 tasty wines. My favorite was the homemade pasts. Perfecto! The family that runs it all came and introduced themselves, which was unique and made the experience so nice. Thank you!

Great Tour - We loved our grape stomping, wine tasting and lunch experience. They did a great job communicating and helping us book on short notice. The guides at the winery were extremely friendly and knowledgable. We had two young kids (3 and 1) who loved the experience as well!

Wonderful experience at the Chianti vineyard - We were already staying in Tuscany and our driver/guide picked us up in a Mercedes van. She spoke very clear English and was very informative as we made our short trip to the vineyard.
We arrived at a small vineyard (Guidi), our family were the only visitors at the time and were given a personal tour by the owner. Our kids stomped grapes at first and then my wife and I joined in for some great family pictures. We eventually made "foot wine" and the juice was collected and bottled. The kids designed the label as my wife and I tried the different varieties they offered along with Tuscan tapas.
Overall it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend.
The only issue we had was a few days later the cork popped in our suitcase due to fermentation so keep an eye your foot wine!
