Before you cross the local government line of Greve in Chianti, you can see the famous Chianti vineyards. But you can only say you've been to Chianti once you walk into the triangular-shaped square with its stone pavement and breathe in the small-town atmosphere. Looking at the calm ambiance of this relatively bustling small town, one would never guess that Greve (being the local comune's seat) had been caught in the crossfire of Florence and Siena for hundreds of years.

Castellina in Chianti, built on a hill, is often considered one of the most beautiful towns in the area. It is likely the most traditional and authentic looking of all the wine villages! It is located on the picturesque Chiantigiana and offers views of the surrounding scenery. It has symmetrical vineyards, wooded areas, and low homes made of stone and old wine estates. The circle of walls surrounds a maze of pretty alleys where you can see the Chianti hills in the distance. After seeing Greve and Castellina, you'll go to a classic Tuscan farmhouse to try five of the area's most famous wines. Learn what distinguishes Chianti wines from other wine varieties and have fun!
