Cultural site in Chianti

Beaches, temples, waterfalls, viewpoints and markets — the things worth building days around. Nothing here is booked on this page: each one says what it is and how long people spend there, then points at the stays and tours in the same area.

Castello di Brolio

The Ricasoli castle, where the recipe that became Chianti Classico was written down in the nineteenth century, and still a working estate. Gardens, a chapel, a long view over the vineyards, and tastings on site. The most substantial single stop in Chianti and the one to build a driving day around.
