A Must-Visit in Chianti Country! - This winery is incredible! The wines are unique and delicious, & the food pairings were are top notch. Each food item brought out the flavors of the wine so wonderfully. The venue is updated but also has the true Tuscany atmosphere. Valeska was an amazing tasting host! She is funny, knowledgeable, and made the experience unforgettable. Definitely request her for your tasting. Helpful tip: Correctly answer all the questions you can for some extra wine in your glass! 10/10 recommend!
