We participated in the Saturday Special wine tour and wine tasting, through which we learned interesting facts about Italian wine/history and enjoyed wine and food. We also stayed at the wine farm that day. It was very peaceful and relaxing.

This attraction was an optional one in out tour, but it was highly recommended from the tour leader. Despite all of this, I was not that much looking forward for this attraction due to the fact that I do not like wine too much. However, I decided to go for this wine tour and after i went I do not regret it at all since the tour was simply fabulous and ended in the best way possible with a wine tasting. Apart from this the views from this Castello are really amazing and beautiful.
We booked the basic 18 euro tour which included a tour, with guide, of the castle, cellars and then a tasting. It was terrific value. Our guide was great-very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The castle and grounds are beautiful with stunning views over Chianti. We wished we'd booked to lunch too. We tasted a rose and 2 chianti classicos all of which were delicious and were served with some bread, cheese, oil and vingegar.
Actually must see and must taste while being in Chianti Region - Castel is beautiful itself, unforgettable views and the best wine of the area - guide tours highly recommened for people who beside the food and wine want to know a little of history facts.
We took our adult children from the US here as a treat for them. Turned out to be a treat for us as well. The castle is gorgeous, the grounds amazing and the view spectacular. Prior to going, my husband complained that €38 each was too much. He changed his mind by the end of the tour. Not only was our guide extremely knowledgeable but also this price included a full lunch with 6 wine tastings.
Make reservations before going and you won't be disappointed.
Very good wine tasting and amazing castle to see
Don't forget to book before you come
Placed in the best area in Tuscany
Amazing view and most important the wine is very good and you can buy wine in a reasonable price
The tour is a little bit more than an hour and cost 18 euro and worth every penny
