Fabbrica Pienza — Attraction in Unione dei Comuni Valdichiana Senese

Beautiful, modern winery with views of Pienza, Monte Amiata, and the surrounding hillsides. We've visited a few times and are always impressed by the warm hospitality. We've always felt welcome, even when arriving towards the end of their opening hours or interrupting another group's tasting appointment.

The tours and tastings are customized to your level of knowledge, interest, and time, and do not sound like canned speeches unlike at some other wineries. The pours are generous, and the wines (and olive oils) are excellent.

Highly recommend making an appointment or...

Our guide also kindly gave us a lot of recommendations for food and sights in the local area. We tried 5 wines in total, along with some olive oil. The views and scenery are magnificent and everything about the building’s design and its surroundings have been carefully selected by the owners (who we were told have an architect background). Do the “Great Classic” tour if you are...

We turned up without a booking for a tasting. Thomas the host accommodated us when he didn't have to. He spoke at length and in great detail about the wines and how they were made and we ended up buying a few bottles of their wine as a result of how well we were hosted. If you are sick of chianti and montepulciano sangiovese wines, this winery is making new fresh and exciting varietals that are full of flavour and of a very high standard. Probably the best winery I visited in Tuscany and I don't say that lightly. I have been tasting Australian Wines for 15 years and Fabricca make a very very good few...
