Going to Festa dell'Uva di Impruneta?

One of Tuscany's oldest and most spectacular harvest festivals, running in the hilltop town of Impruneta since 1926. Four contrade (neighbourhoods) compete with elaborately decorated floats celebrating the grape harvest, in a tradition predating the modern wine industry. The festival combines pageantry, grape treading, and tastings of Chianti Colli Fiorentini.
