So much more than expected! - 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!

Wine tastinf tour fit for royalty - 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.

Tremendous Experience! - 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.

Beautiful experience - Excellent experience from every point of view. The visit to the castle, rich in years and years of history, was very interesting, as was the tour of the cellars. Yes it is located in a very suggestive position and with a crazy view. The tasting with lunch took place inside the living room of the castle, and it was also very pleasant and in the company of a nice group we met there.
Congratulations also to the guy who guided us on this visit/tasting, covering every topic and question exhaustively.
Another plus for giving us the opportunity to bring our (small) dog with us.

Wine experience - 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.
