Expo Chianti Classico

The Chianti Classico wine lounge

Expo Chianti Classico is the most important wine event dedicated to the famous Gallo Nero wine, held in the historic center of Greve in Chianti, in the Province of Florence, in the heart of Tuscany. Organized by the Municipality of Greve in Chianti in collaboration with the Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico, it is the only event that manages to bring together producers from all the municipalities of the Chianti Classico DOCG denomination in a single square, creating a large open-air wine lounge.

A tradition spanning over fifty years

Born in the 1970s, the event has grown edition after edition to become a highly anticipated appointment for enthusiasts, industry professionals, and tourists from all over the world. The charm of the festival lies in the opportunity to experience Chianti Classico "at home," meeting winemakers directly in the landscape that gives life to their wines, among vineyards, cellars, and the villages that dot the Chianti hills.

What to find in the square

At the heart of the festival, Piazza Matteotti and the streets of the center fill with winery stands: in recent editions, over sixty wine companies have participated, joined by the Consortial Pavilion where it is possible to taste a wide selection of labels. Tasting is made possible by the official glass, which can be picked up at the organizers' stand and entitles you to a series of tickets to be spent at the tasting counters.

• Tastings of Chianti Classico vintage, Riserva, Gran Selezione, and Vinsanto
• Consortial Pavilion with a wide overview of the denomination
• Guided tastings and pairings between wine, DOP extra virgin olive oil, and local products
• ARTour of Taste with Tuscan crafts and agri-food products
• Art exhibitions, photographic displays, and historical shows
• Evening concerts, tribute bands, and DJ sets to liven up the square
• Guided tours and excursions among the vineyards and cellars of the territory

An event for the territory

Expo Chianti Classico is not just a commercial showcase, but an opportunity to promote the entire Chianti territory and its rural identity. The event combines the culture of wine with that of the landscape, gastronomy, and Tuscan popular traditions, offering visitors a complete experience in the municipality of Greve in Chianti and the Tuscany Region.
