Tasting and visit to the estate - Guided tour described in detail by a very friendly and kind girl, excellent products with wines that are not only drinkable but excellent. The history of the estate does it credit and it is an enchanting place
Worth trying without any doubt

Great wine, great people and great scenery - My wife and I had a wonderful tour with Yuliya as our guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and we had a great time talking about wine, life and everything else. We had a “private” tour as we were only ones booked for the day. The location is stunning and history of the vineyards and the surrounding area is fascinating. If you are on Elba, don’t pass up a visit, you will enjoy your time and never forget the experience.

It was worth it! - We arrived a little discouraged, due to the distance and the dirt road... but once we arrived we were rewarded for everything... a breathtaking view that gave us an unforgettable sunset over the sea... a very interesting tour with a wine tasting delicious and then how can we forget the sweet Julia who accompanied us throughout the afternoon... Thank you very much!

Wonderful experience! - When you are on Elba, definitely try to go to Tenuta Delle Ripalte. It is a wonderful estate where you can do lots of things during the day. Taking the wine tour was wonderful and having food and drinks on their terrace at sundown is an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.

Lots of stuff - Immense, spectacular location. Impressive terrace with vineyard/sea view.
Very professional, kind and enterprising staff.
Too bad only the dirt road, the only access to get there. Too bad it seemed closed on Easter Monday, while it was open regularly. Too bad the glass of wine costs €7, with a dose perhaps a little below normal. But excellent

Hold tight! - I understood the beauty of the estate from the single starting point and from which we practically did not move. I was expecting a tour, even a short one, among the vineyards and some of the accommodation facilities. Tour that didn't actually happen. Other than that, the guide was very kind and helpful, and the tasting on the terrace was very pleasant. I'll have to return, perhaps by bicycle, because the place is really worth it!
