The quiet west
Everyone drives the SR222. This day goes the other way — San Casciano, Passignano, San Donato — where the vineyards are just as good and nobody is queuing.
- 9:30Tenuta Poggio TorselliSan Casciano
Start grand. The villa gardens above San Casciano open the day properly, and the Gran Selezione is worth the early tasting.
- 11:30Poggio al SoleBadia a Passignano
Down the Rignana road to a small estate that quietly outperforms far louder names.
- 13:00Osteria di PassignanoBadia a Passignano
Lunch beside the abbey. Book weeks ahead, or swap to Chianti Craft next door and eat lighter.
- 15:30Badia a Passignano cypress avenueGreve in Chianti
Walk the cypress avenue off the lunch. Best light of the day is right here.
- 17:00Fattoria Casa SolaBarberino Tavarnelle
Finish near Cortine — family estate, unhurried, they'll still be pouring at six.
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.
