The route
This verified route begins in Siena, follows the Chiantigiana through Castellina, Radda and Greve, then turns south to Montalcino. The final two stages cross the Val d'Orcia through Bagno Vignoni, Pienza and Montepulciano before continuing via Pitigliano to Saturnia.
Historic centers operate restricted traffic zones. Enter only when signage and an authorized permit allow it, and otherwise use signed outer parking. Check ANAS and regional mobility notices before each stage.
All wine visits require a driver who does not drink, a hired driver, or an overnight stop before tasting. Spring and autumn offer comfortable temperatures, but agricultural traffic and local events still affect the roads.
