Description

Greve in Chianti is known for stunning vistas, excellent wine, fresh local food, and peace and quiet. This small town is very accessible from Florence, making it perfect for a day trip or weekend getaway. Being just a half-hour from Florence, Greve in Chianti is the perfect hidden gem to escape to from this busier tourist town. If spending a whole weekend, unwind by staying in an agriturismo, such as Castello Vicchiomaggio. Perched up on a hill, the property has incredible views over the rolling green terrain dotted with little houses. A lovely afternoon could be spent admiring the scenery from the property’s infinity pool with a bottle of rosé. Greve is located in the Chianti Classico wine region, which produces its namesake red wine. You can easily identify the bottles, as the labels are proudly marked with a black rooster. In Greve, the two major wineries to visit are competing Castello Vicchiomaggio and Castello di Verrazzano. Both have a rich history dating back centuries and offer tastings and tours on their gorgeous properties.
