Castellina in Chianti Trip Overview
Areas of viticulture celebrate the end of harvest by crushing grapes under foot. Those scenes of girls with skirts to the knee pounding the grapes have become an Italian symbol and have given their significant contribution to the “I love Lucy” movie.
This tour is highly recommended for those who want to try a unique experience, while capturing the best pictures for social media.
A visit to a winery with wine tasting is included; depending on the season guests can pick grapes or simply press grapes we have previously purchased.

What to Expect When Visiting Castellina in Chianti, Toscana, Italy
Areas of viticulture celebrate the end of harvest by crushing grapes under foot. Those scenes of girls with skirts to the knee pounding the grapes have become an Italian symbol and have given their significant contribution to the “I love Lucy” movie.
This tour is highly recommended for those who want to try a unique experience, while capturing the best pictures for social media.
A visit to a winery with wine tasting is included; depending on the season guests can pick grapes or simply press grapes we have previously purchased.
We will start our experience with a walking discovery of a Tuscan village, then when we will get to the winery (if August, September) you will pick the grapes from the vines. Then we will move to the cellar where your stomping session will take place. After the crashing it’s time to bottle your wine.
Continue the experience visiting the winery and enjoy a home hosted lunch with official wine tasting of an off the beaten path winery.
ATTENTION: in case you buy this service when the grapes are not on the plants we avoid the picking time and you will find grapes already in the barrel ready to be stomped!
