Tuscany Trip
Sven introduced me to some of the most charming wineries in the Chianti region. Each one had its unique character and history. We visited family-owned estates where I learned about the traditional winemaking process, and we explored modern wineries at the forefront of innovation. The tastings were a sensory delight, with a diverse range of Chianti wines to savor, from robust reds to crisp whites. Sven's connections in the industry also allowed us exclusive access to areas typically off-limits to tourists, making the winery visits truly unforgettable.
