Morning light slices across the piazza Matteotti as your group gathers beneath the bronze of Giovanni da Verrazzano. The village exhales market smells and warm stone; you step off the square onto a narrow dirt track that climbs between rows of vines and low olive trees.

History
Greve and surrounding Chianti towns were strategic medieval waystations between Florence and Siena; vineyards and fortified hamlets evolved from that history into the modern wine landscape.
Conservation
Many wineries here practice sustainable or organic viticulture to protect fragile hillside soils and local water supplies; stick to marked paths to avoid trampling vineyard terraces.
Reserve your spot on the Private Hike and Wine Experience in the Chianti Classico region today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Choose sturdy footwear
Trails include gravel, packed dirt, and short rocky sections—light hiking shoes with good tread keep you steady on uneven ground.
Hydrate and refill
Bring a 1–1.5L water bottle and refill at the winery or village stops; summer heat and sun exposure can dehydrate you quickly.
Time your visit
Start in the morning to avoid the hottest afternoon hours and to catch wineries before peak tasting times.
Declare dietary needs early
Lunch and tastings are included—notify the operator of allergies or preferences when booking to ensure suitable options.
Light hiking shoes or trail runners
Provide traction and ankle support on dirt tracks, vineyard rows, and village stone streets.
Refillable water bottle (1–1.5L)
Staying hydrated is essential, especially on sunny summer days between tastings.

Layered clothing and light rain jacket

Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen)
