Chianti Castle Tasting

At Chianti’s Castle it is possible, with several kind of programs, to take guided tours of the historical but still working cellars.

During the visit, strolling in the Late Renaissance gardens of the Villa, you will discover the great history of the estate and have the chance to see the wild boar bred in the surrounding woods.

The tours are always completed with a guided tasting of classic wines, extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and Vin Santo (Holy Wine) together with the traditional almond biscuits, and other Tuscan delicacies.

You will really appreciate the absolute beauty of the surrounding grounds, the imposing position of the castle overlooking the Greve Valley, and the entertaining, insightful tour of the castle and cellars with superlative wines.
