Castellina in Chianti

The landscape and wines tell a special story

The spectacular drive out to this almost hidden Chianti landmark, is reason enough to visit its stone cobbled streets.  However, as if that weren't enough, Castellina offers a long history reaching back to the Bronze age up today and its active participation in wine and olive oil production.

The prime position between the powerful Renaissance city of Florence and the Siena skyline offers the perfect base for first time travellers to Tuscany eager to visit the many sites and monuments in the area.  You can plan an itinerary which will include exciting stops in towns like Greve in Chianti or Castelnuovo Berardenga.  The panoramic roads that wind throughout the valleys of Pesa, Arbia and Elsa hold many surprises.

Families with kids will find parks, outdoor activities and agriturismos with an authentic farm experience for everyone. Couples on a romantic get away can indulge in a romantic B&B while playing with the culinary traditions, wine tastings and awe inspiring sunsets.  And even the seasoned adventure seekers will find Castellina in Chianti rich with events, trails and activities.
