This experience includes a guided tasting of the 4 current wine releases and always features our three reds - L'aura Chianti Classico, Sei Chianti Classico Gran Selezione and our Podalirio IGT Merlot. You can enjoy the wines out on the winery terrace overlooking the estate vineyards or in our tasting room while a member of the family tells you the story behind each wine and Querceto di Castellina.
Explore, sip & savor
Winery Tour &
Portfolio Tasting
Learn more about our winemaking process with a visit to our winemaking facility and cellar followed by a guided tasting of the 4 current wine releases.
Your host will guide you through how we make our wines starting with the managing of the vineyards, the fermentation and aging of the wines and what it means to be an organic estate in Italy.
Delight in the art of wine & food pairing
Wine & Artisanal Cheese Pairing
Our wine & artisanal cheese pairing is the result of our collaboration with De Magi Alchemy of Cheeses - an Italian artisanal cheese producer and purveyor.
We've carefully selected the featured cheeses working along with the De Magi team to find those that best enhance the flavors of our wines. During this experience you'll enjoy 4 different Tuscan cheeses from De Magi paired to perfection with 4 of our current wine releases.
Test the age-worthiness of our Podalirio
Vertical Tasting
The beauty of a vertical wine tasting is to see how a particular wine evolves over time and our Podalirio Merlot has consistently proven to be an age-worthy wine and our Sei Chianti Classico Gran Selezione has immense aging-potential. Experience this first hand with a tasting of 5 old vintages of our single-varietal Merlot or Sei and see how unique every year can be and learn about the various factors that come into play with each growing cycle.
Dive into True Tuscan flavors
A Taste of Tuscany Lunch & Wine Tasting
This 3-course lunch is designed to give you a true taste of the wine and food of Toscana.
Our chef Laura will serve pasta as a primo, followed by a selection of charcuterie, crostini and artisanal cheeses and then ending with a sweet finish. The dishes are served along with a tasting of our 4 current wine releases so you can experiment and see which wine you feel pairs best with each.
Indulge & awaken all of your senses
A Tuscan Feast
for the Senses
This indulgent lunch begins with a selection of 3 crostoni, followed by a pasta course and then a traditional Tuscan main dish and a side prepared by Laura and of course ends with dessert.
This is an ideal experience for those wanting a more substantial lunch – we’d definitely plan for a light dinner in the evening. Menu options can be requested in advance.
