Music, exhibitions, and events; it’s an August full of life at the Sculpture Park of Chianti!
If you’re wondering what to do in Chianti in August and looking for outdoor experiences to enjoy in this corner of Tuscany, then the Chianti Sculpture Park is truly an ideal destination. It combines contemporary art, nature, workshops, and live music: a series of diverse and interesting events designed to experience summer in an original way.

Nestled in the heart of the Sienese Chianti, this open-air museum offers a unique experience. Stroll through the woods of holm oaks and oaks discovering the permanent collection, a series of over thirty sculptures and site-specific installations that dot the landscape in a continuous dialogue between creativity and environment.
In addition to the permanent collection, the Park has recently enriched its offerings with the inauguration of the Open-Air Gallery to display temporary exhibitions. This August, the Galleria hosts Mìmesis, an exhibition of pictorial-graphic works through which Natascia Ghini re-interprets the landscape of Chianti through the icon figure of the cypress tree.

Emotions at the sunset and live music

For those seeking to experience emotions at sunset, August offers two new dates for ‘Concerts at Sunset ‘(August 12 and 19, at 7 PM): evenings where live music intertwines with the tranquillity of the woods, and the Amphitheatre of the Park comes alive thanks to the Mexican music of Mariachi El Magnifico de Florencia (August 12) and the rhythm of LOSTinFolk, with their Journey to the Dance Beat: from Ireland to the Balkans (August 19).

Even more magical is the atmosphere of the ‘Candle Wine Nights,’ candlelit concerts where wine tastings and a candlelit atmosphere transform the Park into an unforgettable setting. The Chianti Sculpture Park will host the last one of the season on Thursday, September 11, featuring the soul, jazz, and black music sound of DAMN! organ Trio to complete a perfect evening.

Personalized experiences to live

Events, exhibitions, art and live music are not the only things on offer. The Park also offers personalized experiences, from guided tours to family activities, drawing and painting lessons for couples and children, and custom paths for private groups, ideal for those who wish to discover Chianti from an original perspective.

Visiting the Chianti Sculpture Park means experiencing one of the most fascinating outdoor experiences in Tuscany, perfect for those who would love to spend their summer amongst the art, nature, and cultural activities of Chianti.
