We visited in August without reservations. Our GPS led us astray in Poggibonsi but we got there eventually. Lucky for us the wine tasting with matching tastes of local produce was about to start (11am I think). Grandma met us at the gate along with a few cats and some geese and didn't speak English but she led us to... more

I have to admit I'm glad I didn't read the other reviews before our visit, but our experience was certainly different than most. We didn't stay there, but went for lunch and wine tasting as tour during our cruise. I am NOT a wine afficionado, but enjoyed the experience thoroughly. My wife and I actually consider it one of the... more

We went to a wine tasting and bought several bottles of wine. They arrived at our home in Texas via UPS just fine. I was worried about the other reviews of people who said they did not receive their wine, but ours came wth no problem. more

We had a magnificent wine tasting there and the food was delicious. We ordered wine to be shipped to CA after the tasting but it never arrived. We sent several e-mails but got no response. We called them to ask about our order and they assured us that the wine had been shipped. It never arrived so we requested a... more

My husband and I went Italy for 2 weeks. I looked forward to the wine tasting throughout the entire trip. Piereluigi put on a terrific show and we bought over $250 worth of wine. It never came. 20 ignored emails, a fax and a phone call later, (he answered and hung up) we still never got it. Luckily, I saved... more

We visited in May this year as part of a tour, with a guide, and sampled some oils and wines. Their Order Form is non specific as to vintage or year. I asked for confirmation that I was purchasing the wine I was tasting, namely 1999 Bartolomeo. I was given that confirmation and had the sales assistant write 99 on... more

I did not stay here but did the wine tasting during the day. That was fun, but the problem was I ordered 2 bottles of expensive truffle flavored olive oil and a bottle of balsamic vinegar. My order was shipped to my home in the US a month later which was fine. BUT, I only got the balsamic vinegar. Instead... more

Our visit to this vineyard was late in the afternoon and spontaneous. Pierluigi Giachi, owner and teacher, and his assistants made us feel welcomed, didn't rush us, and indeed we had a great time. Pierluigi is a passionate showman and one learns something about wine from the experience. One thing that we realized after we left was that Pierluigi had... more

We stayed at a the Hotel Palazzo in Siena and drove to Tenuta Torciano in San Gimignano at the recomednation of a hotel brochure. With some difficulty, the front desk made last minute (Sunday) afternoon reservations for us. We were a party of only 7 people and Pierre Luigi opened up just for our little group. Indeed, he is a... more
