We were very disappointed with the place after reading such a great previous reviews. Ok - the guide said a lot of information- but with wine it is not just about what is said - but how it is said. The guide was very tired but he tried hard…We decided for 4 Wines with CHARCUTERIE-CURED MEAT/4 VINI con TAGLIERE AFFETTATI- the meat was not tasty… we ordered cheese- we didn’t like it as well. What was worth attention is the Olive Oil ( to taste it you pay extra) and the “Saint Wine” - we payed extra for that es well. The prices of the wine are high when you compare it to quality. In my opinion- the place was designed for big American groups or people who have no idea about the wine. We bought a bottle of a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione- for 38 Euro but we didn’t have a chance to taste it yet… Before visiting that place me and my boyfriend have been to different wineries in Italy, Spain and Greece and we both have the same opinion on...

We were greeted by puppies when we initially arrived, and took a very informative tour going through the wine-making process. After our tour, we had a delightful wine tasting, and enjoyed every single glass. We also opted to try the Vino Santo for dessert. It was a remarkable experience!

This experience was one of my favorites from our trip to Italia. Unforgettable and...
Read moreThis winery is exactly what we came to Tuscany for!!! (We were at the nearby winery right before that and didn’t get the same experience). First of all, this is a family owned and operated winery and orchard sitting in 10 hectares of land that the owner works on herself. The location is beautiful, wine and olive oil are delicious. The host is incredible and shares so much information about wine, oil and property. Their dogs Zoe and Simba are lovely and extremely friendly. We got to meet their kids, one even spoke English, all were very kind and welcoming. We saw an injured baby bird on the way and the owner took time to help us relocated it. I’m doubling this review to 10 stars! YOU MUST...
