Vino al Vino: Trip Planning Guide

Vino al Vino is the yearly tasting of the Unione Viticoltori di Panzano, the winegrowers' association of Panzano in Chianti. It runs for three days over the third weekend of September in Piazza Bucciarelli, the village square, where producers from the association's 23 wineries pour their own Chianti Classico and IGT wines.

The 2026 edition ran from 18 to 20 September. The association had not published 2027 dates when we checked; by its own rule, the next one falls on the weekend of Sunday 19 September 2027. It suits people who want to taste a whole village in one place and talk to the people who made the wine: one ticket covers all three days, and the association says more than 80 wines were poured in 2026.

In 2026 the ticket cost €30, bought in the square on the day or online until 17 September. It was valid for all three days and came as a kit: a tasting glass with a strap to hang it round your neck, a pen, a brochure and a map of the member wineries. So you can taste part of the square on Friday and come back for the rest on Saturday or Sunday without paying again.

A selection of the wines is sold at the association’s own stand in the square.

The association calls Panzano Italy's first wine bio-district and says 90% of the vineyards around the village are farmed organically. Its 23 members include Fontodi, Castello dei Rampolla, Cennatoio, La Massa, Le Cinciole and Vecchie Terre di Montefili.

The association also runs Vino al Vino in Cantina in early May, when member wineries open their own cellars for tastings (2 and 3 May 2026, 11:00 to 19:00). Choose May if you would rather see vineyards and cellars than a village square.

The association's own visitor page lists places to eat in the village, including Enoteca Baldi and Oltre il Giardino on Piazza Bucciarelli itself, and Dario Cecchini on Via XX Luglio.
