Would you like to explore the vineyards and wine cellars where is produced the delicious nectar that makes Tuscany worldwide renowned? What do you think about a tour by Vespa through the hills of Siena? This special blend comes true on the occasion of Cantine Aperte (Open Wine Cellars Day), the prestigious wine tourism event planned for May 28th and 29th in Italy.
In Siena and its province are scheduled a lot of wine tours, but this year there is also the opportunity to join guided tours and discover the partnership with the Vespa Clubs that will provide hundreds of scooters, a vintage symbol of Made in Italy.
There are many wineries participating in the initiative, here we point out some in Siena and surroundings for an exclusive weekend in the sign of DOCG wine!
