The Chianti area is reached via one of the most panoramic routes in Italy, the S222, a winding state road known as La Chiantigiana which runs between Florence and Greve in Chianti. The drive is a must for anyone wishing to savour the beauty of the Chianti countryside. While driving, you will see rising in the distance some of the most famous medieval hilltop towns: Castellina, Radda, Greve, and also Colle di Val D’Elsa nearby. From the summit your eyes will drink in the panoramas of solemn cypresses, miles of red poppies and shimmery golden fields of barley.

Our favorite Chianti town for weddings is Castellina in Chianti, a medieval masterpiece and a short drive from Siena or Florence. It is built on a hill overlooking the Val di Pesa, the Val d’Arbia and the Val d’Elsa valleys and the views are second to none. The town is full of character and surrounded by vineyards. In the heart of Castellina you can visit the medieval fortress La Rocca. Several outstanding restaurants are available for a Chianti wedding reception; full of character and serving superb local cuisine. In summer, events can be held outside.

Rising on a hill which separates two valleys is the town of Radda in Chianti. Exploring Radda’s medieval streets is a delight; the climb is steep and takes you to the caminamento, a vaulted medieval passage which circles a portion of the city. A backdrop like this was made for wedding photos!
