Pasticceria Chianti
Bakery
Open Details
On the way to the first vineyard, refreshments for all the wine being tasted are not to be missed. This little bakery is a local insider tip. You will meet many locals over their early morning coffee.
As you may know, most Italians don't eat breakfast. A small strong coffee, lively conversation and perhaps a small pastry is their start to the day. Get into the typical life of the people at this enchanting bakery and fill your belly with great Italian pastries.
