Chianti isn’t just a wine — it’s a place, a vibe, and a scenic masterpiece. Nestled between Florence and Siena, the Chianti region rolls through hills and valleys where some of Tuscany’s best grapes (and wines) are born. Draw a squiggly line around this slice of heaven and you’ve got a landscape of vineyard views, sun-soaked wheat fields, cypress-lined roads, medieval hilltop towns, and olive groves straight out of a postcard. The best wine hotels in Chianti make the most of this setting, pairing epic scenery with equally epic wines — and yes, unforgettable food. Whether you’re after a castle stay, a rustic farmhouse, a villa with a view, or a restaurant with rooms (and maybe a cooking class or two), our Gurus have picked the perfect spot for every taste and budget.
