Chianti is a great place to relax
The Chianti region in Tuscany is not only a visual treat, but a perfect place to relax and recharge after spending time in the bigger cities. You can jump into your car and travel down winding, scenic roads. Trust me when I say there are a lot of these roads to choose from when you’re in the Chianti Classico region. Don’t forget your Gravol if you’re one that falls victim to motion sickness…
We toured through several towns in the 4 days we were in this area. The ones that left the biggest impressions were Castellina, Greve, Panzano, Volpaia, Radda, Gaiole and Vertine.
Colle di Val d’Elsa is slightly out of the Chianti region, but we missed it the last 2 times and it was well worth the trip.
It’s been painfully hard for us to minimize the number of photos we wanted to share with you in this post. You can probably tell we are not minimalists…
