Great wine tasting with great personalities. I know the place's reviews have suffered from bad shipping, but the wine and tasting were great! Great food too. More

Paid a visit to Torciano with just one other person and our own car. Received personal attention, great information about tasting, and very generous samples of about 10 different wines. Food was also terrific, and a must if you're going to make it through the full tasting and stay on 2 feet. Pierreluigi's and his family are always present and... More

After countless wine tastings around the world- WOW!!! A perfect experience. Pierluigi Giachi wine tasting was an absolutely incredible experience. The event was a stimulating combination of wine knowledge, humor, variety of wines, incomparable food with a true teacher with passion. The way he structures his wine tasting is very brilliant. I left the winery feeling like I never spent... More

Tenuta Torciano is a must when you visit Tuscany. Pierluigi, our host and the owner, loves introducing his wines to his guests. Yes, when you visit Pierluigi's winery, you are his guest. The courses of delicious food, the lasagna is incredible, are accompanied by the exceptional wines of this winery. When Pierluigi realizzed that we were celebrating our 48th wedding... More

After living in Tuscany for eight months, I can honestly say Pierluigi offers THEE best wine tasting experience to date. His knowledge and passion is what makes the evening a night to remember. I've visited him twice now and plan to return with my family next month. The wine, the food, the atmosphere - you can't beat it. If you... More

I received my wine in December but only after paying Customs duties and tariffs of over $1,000 myself. Pierliuigi promised to reimburse but so far has not delivered on that promise. Now I am writing daily emails to him asking him to reimburse me, and so far no response from him this week. I may never see my money. As... More

My mother and I were touring Tuscany when our guide brought us to Torciano. The wine was in a league of it's own and the Lasagna and Ribollita were to die for. Of course Pierluigi was the cherry on top. It was just the perfect day! Great food, great wine, great company and great weather. We bought a case of... More

We have visited this winery twice (once in September and once last weekend) and we were blown away each time! The family run winery takes great pride in their wines, food, and grounds. The decor and atmosphere are picture perfect and the accommodations are fantastic too (the 2nd time we came we stayed there). We had a private wine tasting... More

Hi Trip Advisors- This is an update to my previous post, because I have finally received closure on the shipping fiasco with Tenuta Torciano. We are are now six months after the initial order and four months after my first e-mail inquiring about our delivery. I have finally received communication from them about our order and dispute. I am not... More
