Fabulous tour of this beautiful, historic winery. Absolutely delicious meal. A highlight of our trip. Only downside was the mosquitos (in Tuscany- not just the winery) Bring bug spray.

This was a wonderful outing to a castle in Tuscany, owned by one family for 7 centuries and now serving as a winery. Our guide explained so much about the history of the castle and how the wine is made. The area is beautiful of course. Following the tour we were treated to a lovely lunch in our own private dining room, with tastings of the 3 excellent wines made there. Naturally we were given the opportunity to order some to be shipped home, which we did.
Following this it is a short drive to the beautiful hilltop town of Monticello where we walked around and had gelato.
A really fun and memorable day!

We had a wonderful time at the winery. We began with a tour of the grounds, over looking the Vineyard and then to the wine cellar. The setting was picture perfect, just what you would imagine it would be. We then went into the castle dining room and the vintner explained each wine and we had a wonderful lunch. The wine was fabulous and so was the food. It was a nice sized group of 8 people so it was easy to ask questions, etc. I would highly recommend this tour.

Exceptionally beautiful castle and grounds with riveting explanation of the winery’s history and operation. Guide was wonderful! Wine and food tasting was tremendous. Small organic winery which demonstrates nothing but excellence in its wine production and hospitality. Easy to find. Tremendous experience! Thank you so much.

Interesting history, great views and story behind the building. Your if grounds, vats and barrel rooms, not really a tour of the old building/castle. Very nice presenter, wines were OK. Strange that only 3 couples in attendance and 2 couples were seated together and we were seated separately although their table could have easily sat 8 people. We were all from USA. It’s worth the trip.

The history of the castle and the area was extremely interesting. Our guide was so proud of her heritage and the history of the area.
