Worthwhile tour and tasting - This is a delightful winery with several 100% sangiovese grape offerings. We enjoyed the tour of the wine cave where the barrels are kept, and a bit of the history of the cave from Etruscans to WW2 to present. The tour includes a small plate of typical Tuscan snacks and tasting four wines, with excellent explanations of their differences. Right length and right balance of activities. These are local wines with the vineyards a mile away and medium-size output.

Learn more about Italian wines! - We learned so much about Italian wines and this region because of this tour. The sommelier was really great! Now we can buy wines in the U.S. with a little more confidence!

One of our favorite activities - This was one of our favorite Tuscany activities. I have limited mobility and had little trouble on this tour. The underground cave and its history are amazing! From the moment we walked in, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The wines were delicious and the tour leader was very knowledge. FYI: if you have a handicap placard, you can drive up and park in a handicap parking space if available. Warning: The walk up from parking is very strenuous!

Beautiful place to see a wine cellar and taste good wine - Very good as a visit. We were able to visit the wine cellar and have a tasting on site in a small group. The vineyard is not there, however.
