TastinGreve 2026
TastinGreve 2026 is back: The picturesque Piazza di Greve in Chianti, the heart of the Chianti Classico region, will host some of the leading figures in Tuscany’s wine and food scene, coming together for a major event in support of the Meyer Children’s Hospital Foundation in Florence
The event
The grand and picturesque Piazza Matteotti in Greve in Chianti is one of the most admired and photographed architectural landmarks in Tuscany. Dominated by the statue of Giovanni da Verrazzano, it is the symbol of the Chianti region. On Thursday, September 3, it will once again serve as the venue and stage for one of the most anticipated and well-attended events marking the “return” to the city: TastinGreve 2026.
TastinGreve is organizedby the Greve in Chianti Winegrowers’ Association and curated by renowned food and wine critic Leonardo Romanelli. Now in its 4th edition, it has established itself as one of the most popular social events of the Tuscan summer. It offers the public the chance to enjoy an evening in a truly unique setting, where fine wines and Michelin-starred cuisine come together in support of the Meyer Children’s Hospital Foundation in Florence.
An event that will allow gourmet enthusiasts and wine lovers to experience pairings of haute cuisine—created by the six guest Michelin-starred chefs from Tuscany —with the finest selection of Chianti Classico wines from the 29 Greve-based producers who are members of the Association. It is also a special and memorable opportunity for businesses and individuals to support one of the most “beloved” institutions in the Tuscan region.
TastinGreve brings the summer tourist season to a close, inviting visitors to discover a region renowned for its exceptional wines, nestled in an idyllic landscape where life still unfolds at a slow, natural pace, such as the area around Greve in Chianti, and offers the chance to discover unexpected and contemporary pairings with the finest Italian cuisine.
