We love this village and have now stay twice. The first was 2019 and again august 2023. It’s truly unique and such a stunning location up high but central to the whole Radda in Chianti region. We had a rental car and saw many popular medieval villages and wineries on our day trips. The first time we stayed in an apartment with garden access and straight down to the gorgeous pool overlooking the valley. Such an ancient village but beautifully restored. All the four restaurants serve delicious food and the night time its magical. Our favourite is the casual authentic Bar Ucci owned by Paola. Paola makes everyone feel important and like a friend. We loved the food! The actual Castello di Volpaia has its own winery which is cleverly hidden behind the historic structures of all the buildings in the village. We did a wine tasting day with a tour inside one afternoon. It was amazing to see the underground and inside the winery. The biggest wine vats I’ve ever seen and they produce the majority of the Chianti Classico wine in the region. We highly recommend staying here a minimum of 3 nights or more.

Our group of 6 had reservations for a winery tour & tasting. We were joined by 3 others. Fabio gave a fantastic tour in perfect English, followed by a private tasting of 4 of their spectacular red wines. He shared details about the grapes, winemaking process, machinery, buildings, village & history. Very interesting! All the staff were very warm and friendly. If you come to Tuscany, you must seek this out! Beautiful setting.💕

We had an excellent stay in Castillo de Volpaia! The setting was gorgeous, with an amazing view of woodland. The room was immaculate, with a great shower and looked out over the woodland. The village was unique, where almost every building and every resident worked as part of the vineyard. We took part in the wine tour and tasting, Fabio was an excellent guide and the wines were lovely.
