What to do and see in Castellina In Chianti, Tuscany: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups

July 10, 2021 Harland Bartelt

An ancient town of just under 3,000 between Florence and Siena, picture-perfect Castellina In Chianti is set in the wine-famous Chianti Hills. The many wonderful sights include the imposing 14th-century Rocca (Fortress), offering spectacular views of the town and surrounding countryside, the 16th-century San Salvatore church and the Via delle Volte medieval arched passageway. Just outside of town are the pre-Roman Etruscan burial tombs of Monte Calvario and the Necropolis of Poggino.

Come on to discover the wine tasting in Tenuta Casanova and fun with Rita's cooking class. One day to appreciate the Tuscan wine, the extra virgin oil, the honey and Silvan's balsamic vinegar. In Tenuta Casanova, you will taste Silvano’s wines; Super Tuscany, Easy to Fall in Love and Chianti Classico, surrounded by beautiful and charmed Tuscan land.

We spent a great morning eating, drinking and learning a lot about Tenuta Casanova. Silvano gave us a tour and an enology lesson that was great. Silvano is very enthusiastic about his profession. We have never been to a winery where we enjoyed the atmosphere and the wine and food like this. The wines were pared with a delicious meal prepared by Silvano's wife perfectly. Living in California we go to the wineries up North but nothing compared to our visit. The aged balsamic vinegar is fabulous. It is wonderful over ice cream! The truffle oil over scrambled eggs is delicious. We ordered and just received a shipment that we placed and can't wait to start drinking it!!! I am sold on a new winery to add to my collection

The Wine Tour in Sant’Agnese Farm is a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the Tuscan wine tradition and bring back to your home a little piece of Tuscan country. You will taste not only good wine but Balsamic Vinegar and Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced in Sant’Agnese Farm.

We had the privilege of visiting Sant'Agnese Farm in Italy, October of 2018, and fell in love with their exceptional wines. We left feeling very much like a part of the Sant'Agnese family. This year Choctaw Lodge Retreat in Panama City, Florida USA hosted a wine tasting and dinner party presented by Alessandro and Carlos along with Alexandria. It was definitely a big five-star experience with their amazing wines paired with an exquisite meal. We love keeping their wine in stock and highly, highly recommend this incredible winery!

Poderi Val Verde Chianti 3D Archery Range

If you run out of ideas on what to do after you have had enough wine, olive oil, culture and churches, and if your children or partner are starting to nag or get slightly bored , then this is what you want to do - “let some arrows fly” as the archer would say. Play Robin Hood and Lady Marian in the Chianti hillside! A perfect past time that can fill morning or late afternoon hours and is the thing to do for couples, small groups or families (children as of 7 years). Fabian will teach you the technics and tricks and if you are ready and feel like it will accompany you into the range for some “real shooting” . Plan 2 hours for this activity. For archery lessons reservation is absolutely required !!! , Rates: € 25/pp for 1 hrs. group lesson, private lesson as of €40/pp), archery range shooting only for experienced archers from € 10 to 15/ pp), standard equipment rental possible , warm up range. We speak German,English + Italian.

We did a tour of the winery and wine tasting with Andrea. It was interesting and I enjoyed learning about the history of the winery, wine making process and different wines they produce. Worth a visit!
