On Monday of our trip, when many of the museums in the area are closed, we will be touring the Chianti wine country.

The Chianti area includes several towns, which you can see on this interactive map of the area.

For a general overview of Chianti, click here.

While researching this section, I came across The Wine Trail Traveler web site, which includes several excellent articles on wine.  Check out their explaination of the legend of the Black Rooster.

You can also find several good learning modules on Wine Trail Traveler, such as “How to Taste Wine”, “How to Teach Your Nose To Smell”, as well as several on the wine making process.  Wine Trail Traveler learning modules
