Chianti and Siena by Campervan

Quick summary: Chianti, the wine country between Florence and Siena, is the classic first campervan drive in Tuscany. The Chiantigiana road winds through vineyards, olive groves and villages like Greve, Panzano, Radda and Castellina. Siena, around an hour or a little more from Florence, has the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo and a striped marble cathedral. Park outside the walls in Siena, and join a wine tour so no one has to drive after tastings in your campervan or motorhome.
