Bacco Artigiano
Rufina, the Chianti Rufina wine town east of Florence, holds a long weekend of wine and food events, exhibitions, workshops and concerts, centred on Villa Poggio Reale, which houses the Museo della Vite e del Vino. In the 2024 programme the Consorzio Chianti Rufina ran tastings in the villa's main hall on Saturday and Sunday and a Friday dinner, and wine bars opened in Piazza Umberto I and at the villa. The Carro Matto, an ox-drawn cart carrying a pyramid of wine flasks, travels to Florence in a costumed procession through the historic centre.
