Vino al Vino: Trip Planning Guide
Panzano in Chianti, Italy
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
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.
