Last week I took part in a blog trip to highlight the rich art, history, wine, culture and gastronomy of towns in the famous Chianti wine region of Tuscany.
Entitled “Chianti da Vivere”, our host was the commune of Tavarnelle val di Pesa and I can’t thank them enough for their warm and amazing hospitality.
I will write more on my trip soon, but in the meantime – here are 25 photos that will make you want to drop what you’re doing and get to Tuscany in a hurry!
