Enchanting place located more than 500 meters above sea level, which allows you to appreciate views that are nothing short of enchanting. The guide is very prepared and always ready to answer questions that are asked. The wine is quality, different from most of the productions in Chianti (accomplice the geographical position) and their super tuscans are a delight for the palate. Recommended!

Great experience! We booked the "Full immersion tour" which allowed us to learn about wine making and taste a good part of their products. They were all really excellent, we left with 3 bottles :) Enchanting decor and unique hospitality. I highly recommend!

Me and my girlfriend had a wonderful experience here. Francesco was incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate during the wine tour and tasting. If you wish to learn more about wine and its history in toscana, this is a must visit. Wonderful scenery at the wine yard and the drive to it.

Visit to the vineyards, winery and tasting of 7 glasses, all lasting two hours at an excellent price. Small farm but with first class products and well maintained, a round of applause to the guy who guided us on the tour... very knowledgeable!

Very nice and interesting tour. The wonderful welcome of Ilaria (the tour guide) and her dog Birra turned everything around making the tour even more beautiful and warm. Also the wine tasting with various samples excellent and of fantastic quality (with a little explanation of how to taste the wine)

Despite the somewhat longer drive time, we opted for the wine tour and tasting in Montemaggio. The experience was definitely worth it. Francesco and his team welcomed us from the very first second and we felt very comfortable. The short trip is worth it just for the tasting. Excellence at the highest level.
