I would like to do a 1-day self drive around the Chianti area, visiting wineries, driving through towns like Gaiole, Radda and Greve.

Will the shops and restaurants be open on Christmas Eve?

Thank you!
 
Yes, everything is open on Christmas EVE but will be closed on Christmas DAY so make sure to plan ahead. Restaurants will also be open on Christmas Day, shops might close a little earlier on Christmas Eve so plan on groceries or shopping earlier in the afternoon.

As far as wineries, many only open during December and winter months with advanced booking so I would recommend you look at possible wineries and contact them ahead of time to book a time for your visit, that way you're sure you get to visit them.

Take a look at these two articles for ideas and suggestions on some wineries in the Chianti area and other areas nearby.
