When your boss offers you a free spot on a wine tour through Chianti, you take it voluntarily. We took a large group of students to Villa Dievole with our director, Antonio, who is a licensed sommelier. I'll mostly let the pictures speak for themselves...
Some of the students in the program:
One of the students, after seeing all the butterflies around, commented that he had taught a course on butterflies and proceeded to educate us on their wonders. It was so funny and random that now whenever he comments on anything we all ask, "Did you teach a course on that, too, Joey?"
We sampled four different bottles, including Dievole Bianco di Malvagia, of course a Chianti Classico, Broccato, and the sweet Vin Santo di Caratello (which i purchased).
Here's our director, explaining the world of grapes:
I never knew Mammolo was a type of grape...it's also the name of our closest
porta, or main gateway, leading out of Bologna's center.
The grounds were just beautiful! In fact, the villa is also a hotel. I'd recommend a stay there, for sure!

That photo of the wine glasses is cool and the one of the green grapes is gorgeous. Such a nice shade of green. That could easily be a stock photo.
