57. Tuscany's Chianti region - idyllic countryside just minutes from Florence

#057 Chianti region - more than wine (though that's important too)

Tuscany is high on many Italy wish lists but where should you go to experience this region? Tucked in between Florence and Siena, the area known as Chianti is known for beautiful rolling green hills, picturesque villages and of course wine!

Joining us today is Arianna Cini who was born and raised in the Chianti region and now helps visitors experience its people, places and culture. We learn what to expect on a visit to Chianti, some of her favorite secret villages and of course what to eat! This is the first in a series of episodes where we dive into the provinces and areas of Tuscany, one of Italy's largest regions.
