The kind wine folk of Tuscany and Umbria, have made life that much easier for those with a healthy interest in wine by creating "Le Strade del Vino", wine trails leading through the areas that grow wine. These trails generally follow back roas, passing by a plethora of vineyards.In Tuscany it's commonto pass many "cantine aperte" where you can taste, buy and immerse yourself in wine.It is a fantastic incentive to combine the sampling of a few wines and a glimpse into the traditional farming lifestyle of these rural provinces.
Each Strada has its own district emblem, which you'll see on signposts in towns and through-out the countryside. Just look for a sign that has something resembling a bunch of grapes, and you are probably on the right trak. Every strada has its own map, with listing of wineries and sometimes agriturismi, restaurants, wine tasting enoteche and even open olive mills.
