While visiting the Chianti region, stop for lunch and wine tasting at the elegantly preserved Badia a Coltibuono. Housed in an 11th-century monastery, this organic agrotourism destination is rumored to be the birthplace of high Chianti. Reserve ahead for a table outside on the vine-wreathed terrace, and order the tasting menu, which offers handmade pasta with four pairings. Ask for a glass of the award-winning Vin Santo and take it with you as you stroll through the impressive gardens.
