Perhaps one of the more well-known areas in all of Italy, Chianti is a lover’s dream.  The region is located in the heart of Old Tuscany with history running richly throughout.  Visit the hills layered with vineyards, gorgeous old forests, or perhaps the medieval village of Greve that comes with an old, grand piazza lined with porticoes and loggias.  Raddia, Castellina, and Gaiole are other lovely areas not to miss with their ancient traditions and historic castles.

Burgundy, France

Burgundy, France, is another name that is synonymous with wine and romance.
