Excellent vineyard tour just outside of Greve. We sampled wine and balsamic vinegar with bread at the end of the tour. Historic castle, wine cellar and grounds. The views were fantastic! Typical Tuscany countryside.

We spent three nights at the farmhouse, which was immaculate, quiet and charming. Our room was quite large and the bath was modern. The views were stunning from every direction, and there was a lovely stone patio, as well as outdoor chairs and table just perfect for sharing a bottle of Chianti Classico and watching the sun set. Roberta was... More

We did the wine tour which was 14 euro pp and let us explore the cellars and grounds whilst we were informed about the history and processes of wine making. It was very interesting and we enjoyed the wine tasting even more!

We took the tour, wine tasting and light lunch. Our tour guide was great in explaining things. We ate until we thought we would pop on a light lunch. An experience which was well worth the money and the time!!!

Gino made the wine tour a memorable experience, he is very passionate and knowledgeable about the wines and the wine making as well as being a tour guide with 'heart'. The food and wind served after the tour was beautiful. I had booked this for my husbands birthday after reading reviews on Trip Advisor and it turned out to be... More

What a beautiful place. The heart of Tuscany, a castle on top of a hill overlooking a beautiful valley, good wines, good food matches. Nothing could be better. Brought home a bottle of the Verrazzano Reserve Chianti, olive oil, and, balsamic vinegar. Not a place to miss.

We followed the winery's website directions to take the SITA bus from Florence. Perfect! The walk to the winery from the bus stop is mostly up hill but enjoyable in early April (portions are in the shade) if you relax, pace yourself and enjoy the scenery during the walk. We were greeted by Simon, who made sure we were comfortable... More
