Picturesque Chianti is a rural region of Tuscany, encompassing Florence, Siena and Arezzo, and is one of Italy's most popular wine regions. Visitors flock here to enjoy the fields of sunflowers, verdant rolling hills of vineyards, olive groves, and cypress trees. The area's culinary highlights include its eight varieties of speciality Chianti Wine, prized meats from Macelleria Cecchini and Falorni; and exquisitely-flavoured cheeses, honey and traditional local dishes (such as 'peposo' and 'spaghetti al vino rosso'). Wonder at the Etruscan tombs in Castellina, enjoy a rich calendar of cultural festivals and events in Radda, choose your favourite ceramics, food and wine at the famous market at the Piazza Matteotti in Greve, and explore fortified towns, towering castles and gorgeous churches in Geole in Chianti.
