Impruneta is within easy reach of Florence by car, by bus and even
by bicycle, and is famous for its terracotta production and an increasingly
diverse output of high quality painted ceramics. However,
Impruneta is also home to the famous Basilica
of Santa Maria at Impruneta, an interesting Museum of
Religious Art and two important folk-festivals during the year -
the Grape
Festival, characterised by spectacular floats, and the
Fair of Saint Luke. There are many beautiful agriturismi near
Impruneta, allowing visitors to stay in comfort in the country
while having easy access to the attractions of Florence. Although
not in fact within the limits of the Chianti Classico wine zone,
there are many wineries with a few km making a do-it-yourself wine
tour easy to organise.
