Chianti Classico and its unique history

30/04/2020

Querceto di Castellina produce some of the Chianti Classico region's finest wines. They also provide delightful holiday accommodation, in the heart of Tuscany. We had hoped to visit them again this year - once Italian travel returns to normality we'll be back! In the meantime follow them to enjoy real time videos and updates. Plan your next Italian itinerary with lots of time at this gorgeous property and the surrounding picture-postcard towns between Florence and Siena.

22 Trips to Italy! Since the mid 1990's we have travelled the length and breadth of this amazing country to best promote the range of holiday houses we represented here in New Zealand. Italian Villa Holidays closed 2 years ago, enabling us to be 100% Champagnedirect.co.nz - another very enjoyable boutique business.

Italy however remains a passion, now its time to share some of these experiences in wine, food, getting around and places to stay. This page Italian Travel Experiences will highlight our favourites.

Don has made many trips to Italy and his vast knowledge of travel tips, online sites, and useful apps can make any visit more enjoyable.

Grazie Don, we look forward to seeing you again!
