Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It is definitely a unique place and Janine is a great tour guide. The wine tasting was an amazing experience (Janine really knows her wines) and their olive oil is probably the best I have ever had. Thank you!

We walked over from Villa le Torri where we were staying. We thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon tour of the winery and olive production facility. Janine was wonderfully passionate about the wines, Vin Santos and especially the olive oil produced here. Highly recommended.

The wines are very very good and appropriately priced.
No one mentioned that Macchiavelli had stayed in the Castle. I had learned that along the way.

We enjoyed our tour with Janine. She was lovely and full of knowledge. We liked the wine and especially the super extra virgin oil. We highly recommend this tour and tasting.

We toured this winery castle as part of our Tuscany Vespa Tour. The setting is magical and the wine was delicious. I’m not a wine lover so I wasn’t looking forward to this part of our Vespa tour, but this place is very special and I truly enjoyed it! The family that owns the castle also harvests olives for making olive oil, so we got to learn about that fascinating process as well. I recommend touring here.

Our tour company recommended Castello di Poppiano, and at first, I was reluctant as I was not familiar. My fear was that we would end up at tourist-y type of place. This was not the case at all!
We arrived late (sorry) due to a scheduling issue, but our host was very gracious. We toured the castle, the cave and then the tower. All of it was amazing, and just what I was hoping for.
The tour was better and better as we went along. The climax was on top of the tower where you could see the whole countryside... all the way to Firenze! 360 degrees of beauty.
We tasted the wines and they were nicely paired with charcuterie, cheeses, and of course, the olive oil. Yummm! We ended up heading to the tasting room to try a few more and ended up buying a case... nicely packaged to be safe for our travels and back to the ship.
I would recommend a visit and tour, for sure! I will surely be back next time I am in Tuscany.

We were fortunate enough to tour the historic and very beautiful Castel Poppiano with the amazing guide Janine.
We later discovered that our guide had worked in many capacities for this estate for many years, as she shared her encyclopaedic knowledge and boundless enthusiasm for wines and oils of the Tuscan region.
We have toured many wineries in many regions, and somehow Janine was able to share her passion for great oil and excellent wine in such a way that we hung on her every word. We learnt so much about the estate and the special care that is taken by the ancient and royal family who run this lovely winery to produce exceptional products.
If you have two hours and you are nearby, please consider meeting Janine and experiencing this wonderful place.

We were staying close to Castle Poppiano and decided to give the wine tasting tour a go and we were not disappointed. Janine hosted the tour and was everything you could wish for in a guide. She was knowledgable, enthusiastic and had a fantastic sense of humour. She was able to explain the tour in English, French and Dutch...amazing.
It was so interesting to learn the history of this beautiful castle and to have the wine making and oil production explained in so much detail. Janine made it a wonderful and educational tour and the views from the top of the castle are spectacular and we even got to watch a thunder storm in the distance...amazing.
At the end of the tour we got to sample some wine and Janine taught us how to taste wines correctly, something we had never before experienced. We also got to taste Janine's love, "green gold", the amazing olive oil from the castle. It was so good we brought a bottle back home with us.
A fantastic experience and a great tour guide. Salute Janine! :)

As you can read in the other reviews, this is a great location to visit and Janine is a super guide. What struck us above all the other comments is the way she explained the way to taste a (sangiovese) chianti wine. An experience we will always cherish, together with her tips on their exceptional olive oil!!

Go there because you don’t want to miss anything in this area. Beautiful example of Tuscany you’ve always read about

Our entrance to the castle and winery (including tastings) was part of our Tuscany Vespa tour with Tuscany Bikes. Not sure of hours and pricing if going independently
