One perfect day
The north-to-south spine done right — big views, a legendary lunch, and a quiet glass to end. For a first day that doesn't feel rushed.
- 09:30Greve in ChiantiGreve in Chianti
Park in the lot below the square and start at the top of the funnel-shaped Piazza Matteotti with a coffee. Duck into Falorni for a slice of finocchiona to wake up your palate.
- 10:45MontefioralleGreve in Chianti
A ten-minute climb from Greve. One ring of stone, twenty minutes to walk it — but the light and the quiet are the point.
- 11:45FontodiPanzano in Chianti
Book the late-morning tasting ahead. The Conca d'Oro amphitheatre is the classic Panzano view, and the wines are among the zone's very best.
- 13:30Officina della Bistecca — Dario CecchiniPanzano in Chianti
The theatrical butcher's steak feast. Reserve weeks out — or eat downstairs at Solociccia, or grab a panino from the truck if you're winging it.
- 16:00Castello di VolpaiaVolpaia, Radda
Drive up through Radda; the road itself is half the reward. The hamlet-winery is a maze of cellars hidden behind old houses.
- 17:30Bar UcciVolpaia, Radda
End the day with a glass on Volpaia's tiny piazza. There is no plan beyond this, and there shouldn't be.
This is the fixed version. The planner builds one round what you actually want, and checks what's open on the day you're here.
