Travel Note

Viticcio Winery address

We really appreciate the extra effort involved in joining us for our wedding in Italy and hope to be as helpful as possible. Please contact us if you have any difficulty. Alternatively, if you have any problems, feel free to call Viticcio at +39 055 854210 or +39 366 5662937. Venue address: Viticcio Winery, Via San Cresci, 12/A 50022 Greve in Chianti, Florence – Italy NB: in GPS maps the route needs to go through ‘Via di Colognole, 12 ' and not ‘Via San Cresci’ which can take you to a no through road, this is shown in the map in your invite (take the green route). Once you have reached the winery there will be no further travel arrangements as all events will be held here.

Rental Car

Car hire from airport

We have used Sicily by Car (http://www.sbc.it/) who we had no problems with. To reach the car hire bays exit the airport and facing away from the airport walk to your right all away along the airport building. Either take the bus waiting across the zebra crossing, or follow the path painted on the floor for a 5 min walk. The drive from the airport to the winery takes approximately 1 hr 30 minutes, first driving towards Florence and then when close to Florence taking the exit towards Rome. For a week hire we paid ~ £80 in car hire, £20 for insurance & £40 in petrol (we drove around a lot!). PARKING: There is space for 20 cars at the winery, please let us know if you plan on hiring a car just so we can make sure there will be no problems.
