Seven villages, ninety cellars, and one honest question — how do you want to spend the day? Tell us, and we'll plan it.
274 places on the map, checked against the calendar every Monday. What's shut, what's on, what's worth the drive — from the valley, not about it.
Each town thinks it's the real Chianti. Two of them have a case.

Real days, hour by hour. Named stops, honest notes.
The valley runs on its own calendar. This is the one worth planning around. Next up: L'Eroica, 3–4 October in Gaiole — where to eat, sleep and park, from the village it happens in.
The fixed points. These don't move.
Every one placed. 58 with an opinion attached — the rest are still just true.
One email a week through the season. The festival you'd have missed, the cellar taking walk-ins, the lunch worth booking now. Written by people who live here.
