Chianti is a wine region in Tuscany, Italy, lying between the cities of Florence and Siena. It is a valley of rolling hills, where vineyards and olive groves cover the slopes and small medieval villages sit above them.
What a visit offers
- Wine tastings at local estates, where the region's wines are the main reason many people come.
- Scenic drives along roads lined with cypress trees, with views across the hills at every turn.
- Tuscan cuisine served in settings that suit the landscape, from simple trattorias to meals made with local produce.
- Medieval villages to wander through on foot, a pleasant break between vineyards.
Planning your trip
Because the region sits between Florence and Siena, it is easy to combine with a stay in either city. Renting a car gives you the most freedom to move between villages and estates, though a guided tour can suit those who want to taste wine without driving. The countryside is at its most inviting when you slow down, stop often and let the landscape set the pace.
