Chianti Wine Road Map

How to find the Chianti Wine Road

If you want to plan a trip to the Chianti Classico wine-growing region, you must start with the Chiantigiana, otherwise known as the 222 road.

This road goes from Florence to Siena and crosses a vast territory with vineyards, olive groves, and many wineries where you can stop for a wine tasting.

The Chiantigiana is not a properly straight road but winds through the hills covered by vineyards. It's pretty easy to get lost, and you will need a GPS that can lead you right to the wineries you have planned to visit.

Do not think that wineries are set all alongside the motorway like what happens in Napa Valley. Here in Chi, anti-wineries are hidden in the middle, and sometimes, you have to drive long through dirty and dusty roads, even if the region is the most beautiful in Tuscany.

Most of the wineries in the Chianti Classico area are located deep into the valley, which is unsuitable for extensive auto traffic. Several of these wineries have convenient tasting rooms near Greve in Chianti Village, about 30 km from Firenze and Siena.

Since it is not so easy to drink and drive, some of you could look into one of the many alternatives to driving.
