2 Best Sights in Greve in Chianti, Tuscany

Castello di Verrazzano

Fodor's choice

Tours here take you down to the cellars, through the gardens, and into the woods in search of wild boar (though why you'd want to meet a wild boar is anyone's guess). You can also have a delicious crostino on a terrace with latticed grape leaves forming a beautiful bower above; the view from the terrace stretches for miles. Lunch and dinner are also available, and all the food pairs beautifully with their wines—which they've been making since 1170.

Chiesa di San Donato a Lamole

The tiny village of Lamole contains this Romanesque church, which was greatly modified in 1860; the only remnant of its earlier incarnation can be found in its simple facade. Inside is a 14th-century altarpiece, as well as a curious side chapel on the right that is decorated with rather garish 20th-century religious works. From Greve in Chianti, drive south on SR222 for about 1 km (½ mile); take a left and follow signs for Lamole. It's about 10 km (6 miles) southeast of Greve.
