Why not try wine-tasting on a Tuscany holiday?

Tuscany is home to the famous Chianti vineyards and those who want to observe the grape harvests may like to visit in late September.

However, holiday makers who wish to sample wine may wish to mark down May 24th in their diary for a spot of sampling.

According to the Florentine, Cantine Aperte Cellar will be offering a selection of vinos from Tuscany vineyards on this day - and you could be there too.

Holiday makers who wish to tour the valleys and rural lands of Tuscany by car may wish to rent a villa in Volterra - and its hilltop setting makes it an ideal place to survey the vast surrounding countryside.

Meanwhile, it is also close to San Gimignano - a medieval walled town that is home to many artistic treasures.
