Le Querciole del Chianti is strategically located in the heart of Chianti Classico. Its position offers the chance to discover the many villages scattered around the area. It is a unique experience, something that not only will fill up your eyes of stunning sunsets, colourful panoramas, winding and lets also add bumpy roads (the so called strade bianche, white routes), but it gives the visitor the feel of going back into time, and breathe history. .
The Chianti Classico has always existed, but today, the Gallo Nero (Black Rooster) the icon of Chianti, represents one of the most famous and appreciated food & wine itinerary world wide.
Scrolling down the page you will find some ideas of places to visit, but also foods and wine to discover while staying at the B&B, and why not experience a cooking class or dinner just opposite our BnB with Massimo.
