Pentecoste a Castellina - A wine festival with history and enjoyment
Pentecost in Castellina in Chianti is a tradition - and it's called Pentecoste, the great wine festival of the Viticoltori di Castellina. Every year on the Pentecost weekend, the medieval vaults of the Via delle Volte are transformed into a stage for wine, encounters and the Tuscan way of life.
Pentecoste in Castellina in Chianti
🍽️ June 6, 2025 "A Cena con il Classico"
🍷 June 7 & 8, 2025 Tasting in the Via delle Volte
EUR 20.00 per glass
The prelude: Cena Chianti Classico on Friday evening
The festive start is a special dinner under the old arches of Via delle Volte - right next to the central street, Via Ferruccio. Set tables, candlelight, a multi-course menu from the renowned Albergaccio di Castellina restaurant - and finely matched wines from local winegrowers. An experience for all the senses!
The festival: wine tasting on Saturday & Sunday
During the weekend, you can discover over 30 wineries from the region - all united under the vaults of Via delle Volte. With the purchase of a wine glass (which you can keep!), the world of Chianti Classico, Riserva, Gran Selezione - and many other wines - opens up to you. Simply try them, start a conversation, learn something new and enjoy.
The best thing is that you are well protected when it rains and a pleasant breeze blows through the historic walls when it's hot.
More than just wine
The festival is accompanied by a varied supporting program - concerts, exhibitions, small markets - and of course there is also time to discover Castellina itself. For me, Pentecoste is a wine festival in Chianti Classico that is well worth experiencing: personal, informative and typically Tuscan.
Participating wineries (as of 2024)
