This Tuscan walking tour takes you through the enchanting Chianti Region. This is a great way to explore Tuscany on foot, while tasting the world-renowned offerings of the region, including signature Chianti wine and Florentine cuisine.

This walking tour of Tuscany’s Chianti region begins in Florence, where Renaissance atmosphere and magnificent architecture greet you. Then, you’ll travel to the village of Settignano to begin your walk. Here, olive groves, cypress trees, and all of Florence sprawl below you. Walking through Greve in Chianti gives you the chance to shop at a local market before tasting over 50 of the region’s best wines.

The next stop on this Chianti walking tour continues with a loop walk of Pananzo, where you can truly appreciate the wonderful Chianti landscape. You then walk through Badaccia to a century-old chestnut forest, and then through quaint hamlets. Stop for a glass wherever you please before continuing to the old town of Radda to explore the church of Santa Maria Novella.

The last leg of the Chianti walking tour starts in Siena, a town with a beautiful shell-shaped main square and countless imposing medieval towers and palaces. Relax with one last glass of fine wine before the end of your tour. This walking tour of Tuscany’s Chianti region is a must-do!
