Chianti Tuscany is one of the most iconic landscapes in Italy – rolling vineyards, medieval hill towns, and centuries of winemaking tradition, but there’s far more to this region than postcard views and famous wine labels. In this complete Chianti travel guide, I take you beyond the surface to show what it’s really like to explore Tuscany’s wine heartland.
In this Italy travel guide to Chianti, you’ll discover the best things to do in Chianti Tuscany, from visiting renowned wineries like Antinori nel Chianti Classico to quieter, family-run estates tucked into the hills. I share how to experience Chianti Classico through wine tastings, vineyard lunches, scenic drives, and authentic local stops that most travelers overlook, along with practical tips on getting around Tuscany and what to expect when exploring the countryside.
We’ll talk honestly about renting a car in Tuscany, why driving through Chianti changes the entire experience, and how villages like Greve in Chianti bring the region to life beyond the vineyards. From food culture and local festivals to what to wear in Tuscany and how to pace your days, this guide is designed to help you plan a Chianti trip that feels unrushed, informed, and deeply connected to the region.
If you’re planning a Tuscany vacation and want to understand where Chianti fits into a broader Italy itinerary, or whether it’s worth visiting at all, this video will give you the clarity and context you need. Chianti isn’t a place you rush through; it’s a region you experience slowly, letting the landscape, food, and rhythm of daily life unfold.
Thank you for watching, and I hope this guide helps you plan a truly meaningful journey through Chianti, Tuscany.

Fabulous! If you only had one day in Chianti, what would you choose to do?
Thank you 😊
👏
Strongly recommend Fabulous Vita Agency. They know the area and provide perfect vacation.
Hello there Anastasiya!🥰We visited Tuscany in 2019 and enjoyed a wine tasting along with a 4 course lunch at Castello Monterinaldi. And of course we bought a case of wine along with some wine glasses. And that’s when my husband became a big fan of Chianti Classico wine. We explored the towns of Siena and Gimignano. We also went into one of those butcher shops you showed on your video. And you are so right, I remember walking in and just the smell alone made you not want to leave. This was the first time we ever tasted boar. I hope you and Pierre are enjoying your journey!🤗
Beautiful video! It looks like a wonderful place to visit. Thanks much.😊
Anastasya always Number 1!!
