Recs for One Week in Chianti

Hello! We are changing our itinerary last minute and will be in Chianti for about one week for a wedding near Panzano (May 7-14); we are flying in and out of Florence. I'd love some recommendations for best things to do while we are there. We don't drink so interested in non-wine activities. We would love scenic drives, cooking classes, olive oil tours, hidden gems, spas/thermal baths, etc. There are so many options so wondering if this community has things they would strongly recommend! I'm especially interested in things people have done that have knocked their socks off or have stayed with them as a special thing long past returning home <3 We will have a car so lots of flexibility!

Thanks in advance for any guidance and tips,
Ana (Seattle, WA)

Visit the other Chianti villages as they each have their own personality. It is our favorite area of Tuscany.
Make sure you spend a day in beautiful Siena.
In Panzano, look for famous butcher Dario Cecchini’s butcher shop, Antica Macelleria Cecchini, and his restaurants. He is world famous! We spent a week in a villa there.
