Casa Alle Vacche is located on a hill in central Tuscany, a convenient distance from San Gimignano. Breathtaking Tuscan scenery surrounds this winery, in an area particularly suited to growing grapes and olives. The nature of the soil and ideal exposure produce high-quality grapes, which, expertly vinified, yield excellent wines.
The family dedicates itself to winemaking with great passion and diligence, from growing the grapes to harvesting and finally to the winemaking process. Silvano purchased the winery in the 1950s along with a vineyard. Later, in 1986, Silvano's sons Fernando and Lorenzo brought a breath of fresh air to the Ciappi family business. Literally, Casa Alle Vacche means "House of the Cows." The name is not accidental, but has a strong historical connection. In the 19th century, the oldest building in the winery was a cowshed. This is evident in the arched ceilings with striking architectural masonry on the ground floor. Casa Alle Vacche evokes the simplicity, natural aspects, serenity, and hard work of the Ciappi family.
Casa Alle Vacche produces some excellent wines, such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Chianti Colli Senesi, and the Toscana IGT red and white. In some areas, they grow high-quality wines from Sangiovese, Merlot, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Colorino, Chardonnay, and Viognier. If you're an avid wine lover, you might want to plan a short trip to Casa Alle Vacche and experience the pleasures of their wines.
Casa alle Vacche, in the heart of San Gimignano, is a family-run winery where wine is born from passion, tradition, and a connection to the land. The Ciappi family will personally welcome you to enjoy an authentic experience, filled with stories, aromas, and authentic flavors.
The tour includes a pleasant stroll through the vineyards, immersed in the Tuscan landscape, followed by a guided tasting of five wines produced on the estate. The tour is accompanied by a selection of local food products, designed to enhance every glass.
A unique opportunity to discover the soul of our winery up close and experience the authentic Tuscany.

Write a reviewA very nice winery, with many nice wines. We had a double in Certaldo from this winery, which made us want to visit. We were able to join for a wine tasting. The owner talked with great pride about the wines made here. I definitely recommend visiting this winery!

Tasted the bubbles of this winery during lunch in Certaldo, then decided to drive by so we could buy some wines. Once we arrived there “unannounced” we were received very friendly and the host indicated that a tasting would start in 10 minutes, we were able to join last minute and we certainly did so. Participated in a fun 1-hour wine tasting of a selection of 5 wines. Purchased a number, very nice experience and recommended!
