The property is located four kilometers from Panzano, a charming village that began as a medieval castle but is now home to shops and restaurants, among which is the butcher shop and restaurant run by the famous Dario Cecchini. A morning market is held every Sunday where you’ll be able to get flowers, vegetables, fruit, meet, and cheese. The “Vino al Vino” wine festival is held in September while the “Festa della Stagion Buona” begins in late April where the people of Panzano dress up in medieval costumes and put on live performances. For a fun day trip with wine tasting, visit Greve, which is the unofficial wine capital of Chianti. This medieval town is believed to have been settled before the Etruscans and the Romans dominated the area. Each September, Greve hosts the biggest wine festival in the region. It’s also famous for its arcaded Piazza Mercatale that has a statue of the 16th century explorer Verrazzano in the center. Other day trips can include Florence and Siena.
