About Castellina in Chianti
Castellina in Chianti is a hilltop village of stone lanes, a medieval rocca and cellars carved into tufa, where the food and wine still follow the rhythms of the Tuscan countryside. Its history is best tasted slowly, and the experiences here are built around local tables and family estates — such as the Castellina in Chianti: Truffle Hunt, Wine Tasting & Lunch at a Family Estate, which pairs a working landscape with the dishes it produces, or the Castellina in Chianti: Authentic Dining Experience at a Local's Home, where the meal itself is the cultural encounter.
