Expo del Chianti Classico

The Expo del Chianti Classico is one of Italy's most prestigious wine events, now in its 54th edition. This historic showcase, running since 1972, celebrates the winemaking excellence of one of the world's most celebrated regions. Taking place in the heart of Greve in Chianti at Piazza Matteotti, the event transforms the square into an immersive experience dedicated to Chianti Classico DOCG. Over four days, from September 10-13, 2026, visitors can taste a diverse selection of wines directly from producers' stands: vintage Chianti Classico, Riserva, Gran Selezione, regional whites, and the prized Vinsanto. Purchase a tasting glass at any producer stand to begin your journey. Far more than a commercial fair, the Expo distinguishes itself through its rich cultural and artistic programme. Beyond guided tastings led by the winemakers themselves, the event features art exhibitions, concerts, and initiatives celebrating rural traditions, fostering authentic dialogue between visitors and Chianti Classico producers. Covered pavilions ensure comfort throughout all four days, welcoming approximately 20,000 annual visitors regardless of weather. An unmissable opportunity to deeply understand the soul of Tuscany's winemaking heritage, celebrating a tradition that has made Chianti Classico an internationally recognised symbol of quality and winemaking passion.
