CASTLE ON THE FLORENTINE HILLS
Wine tasting, cooking classes, guided tour
The Castle offers different kinds of wine tasting, accompanied with Tuscany typical dishes. Our sommelier describes and explains the uniqueness of our wines.
Each tasting includes a guided tour of the Castle and its ancient wine cellar, where the participants will receive interesting information about wine and olive oil production.
Back in the 16th century, Pope Paolo III was so taken by the wines crafted in these vineyards that he arranged to have them transported to Rome for his private consumption! Located in the heart of the Florentine hills surrounded by some of the most picturesque landscape in all of Tuscany, the Castle has created a Chianti Reserve fit for nobility. This gem opens with an intense nose of blackberries, raspberries and tobacco. Ripe sweet cherry and leather tones enhance the fruit-filled palate that progresses into a long silky finish.
Honeymooners can have their wedding accommodation in the farmhouse neighbourhood the castle.
Cooking classes can be organized for groups or for individuals. The course will take place in the kitchen of the Castello where the participants, helped by the chef and her staff, will prepare a typical Italian meal. The recipes will be written out for them as well. In this way, you will have the chance to seize the secret of a typical Tuscan cooking. Followed by a Tuscan stew and a home-made dessert, the participants will also be able sample some of our own wine while they are cooking.
And here you have a real Tuscan lunch!
