Going to Vino al Vino?

Panzano in Chianti's intimate September festival, where the village's legendary producers — including Dario Cecchini's famous butcher shop — host open tastings in their cellars and on the piazza. A deeply authentic, village-scale event that feels more like a neighbourhood party than a wine fair.

Your trip blueprint

1
Arrive a day early
Settle in and visit a local producer before the crowds arrive — fly into Florence Peretola Airport (FLR).
2
Festival (7 days)
Third weekend of September. Best for couples and foodies.
3
Extend into the region (2 days)
Tuscany has 452 mapped wineries — add 2 days to explore at your own pace.
Insider tip

Arrive mid-afternoon on the first day when the piazza settles and you can actually chat with winemakers; time your visit to Dario Cecchini's butcher shop for a wine-and-meat pairing that locals book months ahead. The small producers here (Fontodi, Fattoria Casaloste) pour generously only when crowds thin.

About Tuscany

Tuscany is Italy's most iconic wine region — a landscape of cypress-lined hilltops, medieval villages, and ancient wine estates. Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, and Super Tuscans have made this region world-famous.
