Villa La Ripa: A Historic Tuscan Winery

Mario was absolutely fantastic! So passionate about the wine and very entertaining. We enjoyed all of the wine and all of the food. It was absolutely superb. Highly reccomend!

Our wine tasting experience was excellent. It’s a beautiful vineyard with an interesting history and the wines were the best we’d tasted so far in Tuscany. Livia, our guide, was knowledgable and friendly - we all enjoyed speaking with her and wish her the best of luck with her final year at university. We firstly had a tour of the cellar which was followed by the wine tasting where we tried 4 delicious wines and were provided with cold cuts to pair with the reds. We then had an olive oil tasting to finish off. Thank you Livia and Villa La Ripa for a great afternoon.

We had the pleasure of visiting Cantina Villa La Ripa during a Tuscan weekend. Virginia was immediately very helpful and professional; she welcomed us in a friendly way, making us immerse ourselves in the estate. Definitely a recommended stop!

My friend and I recently attended a tour and tasting at Villa La Ripa, booked through a local website. Our guide, Olivia, was lovely. She told great stories, cracked a few jokes and was generous with the wine and cold cut servings. Each wine was delicious and we had an awesome experience. We bought a bottle to take home! Pro-tip: take the T bus in from Arezzo if you are in town. It is cheap, quick and easy, and stops a short 5-minute walk away from the winery. Also, take a tour on a weekday; less crowded and a good opportunity to chat with the staff.

The winery staff was very helpful and provided excellent service! Valentina, in particular, was very kind and friendly! As a Brazilian, I felt welcomed and I'm sure other Brazilians will love the way this establishment treats us.

Unforgettable tasting experience at Villa La Ripa. We were welcomed by a very knowledgeable and professional girl, who passionately explained the history of the Villa and its extraordinary products. Every detail was told in an engaging way, with great attention and respect for the past and tradition, but also with a genuine interest in eco-sustainability and innovation. This winery is truly unique, as are its wines which are simply sublime, the result of meticulous research and excellent care that place La Villa on a level decidedly superior to other wineries (some rows of vines, even centuries old, are further evidence of this). We stumbled upon Villa La Ripa almost by chance, but it turned out to be a fortunate and surprising discovery. If you are looking for excellent, original and innovative wines, and want to feel pampered by the staff in a timeless place, I absolutely recommend you visit it if you are in the Arezzo area.

Small and recent cellar but very well cared for, the person who accompanied us was professional and involved with passion and enthusiasm. The experience with lunch recommended. Excellent rosé, good reds even if not in line with our tastes but highly recommended

Very professional and charming tour of the winery and wine cellar. The price is justified and absolutely reasonable.

Excellent experience! We really enjoyed our time at Villa la Ripa with Mario, our host. Great wines, cheeses, meats, and olive oil on the hillside of the vineyard on a beautiful spring afternoon. Check them out if you are visiting nearby Arezzo!

We had a fantastic afternoon. Great location and great advice.

We had such a lovely and fun experience at Villa La Ripa winery. They accommodated us same day without issue, welcomed us in the car park, and were genuinely happy to have us. We visited in the winter and had the entire place to ourselves, truly a personal experience. Our guide, Livia, was amazing! She was super knowledgeable, friendly, and showed us such a great time. She loved our questions and always had a great story to share about the wines, the history of the villa, and even her own personal experiences. We loved it. To top it off, the wines were incredible - we loved every single one. We will absolutely return and recommend Villa La Ripa to all of our friends and family visiting in the future.

Excellent wine tasting with Livia, who accompanied us throughout the tour in English and made the experience a special occasion. We chose this place because of its proximity to Arezzo, but I highly recommend it if you're looking for a place in Tuscany to do a wine tasting because the landscape is truly worth seeing, both the entrance to the Villa and the vineyards surrounding the production and tasting area. Livia made us feel at home, and the quality of the product and its history are simply unique. I recommend it 100%.

We had the pleasure of visiting the winery of Villa La Ripa and we were enchanted by the beauty of the place and the excellence of the wines. A special thanks to Marius and for the warm welcome and the competence demonstrated during the tasting. We highly recommend this experience to all wine lovers." A big hug from Yulia and Nicholas!

Tasting and accompaniment 10/10!! A unique and exceptional experience! Rich in information, very concrete, enthusiastic, magnificent location, friendly, easy to access, the vineyard is superb and the facilities clean, quality and good taste. Very nice selection of wine, excellent communication skills from Inata (9 Oct 2024). Both novices and experts learned from the wonderful tasting. She is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and above all, very knowledgeable and competent: Quality/price more than excellent!! We recommend 100%!!

We went as an organized activity with professionals and young people, and we loved the wonderful space with spectacular views. They explained its history and showed us the space and the work they do there. They were very attentive and friendly. And what can we say about the wine, especially the Psyco? Also the oil and creams. We hope to come back again, thank you for everything!

We were privileged to have a truly authentic experience. The sommeliers knew how to combine great wine with an interesting history. They also answered all of our questions expertly. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

The tour and tasting of the estate were interesting. Benedetta is also very friendly! We left with some very good wines, thank you.

I 100% recommend this vineyard. Mario is passionate and explained the production processes to us very well. It was a very enriching moment of sharing. The wines are also made with expertise in harmony with nature and are therefore of high quality. Thank you for this moment!

Great place. Fantastic staff, fantastic wines.

Magnificent place! We had a wonderful experience. Benedetta, the person who guided us through the winery and explained everything, was wonderful. She was very kind and attentive. The wines were fabulous! We wanted to buy them all! I truly recommend this place! It's 100% worth it.

Five-star experience. We decided to get to know Villa la Ripa by booking a picnic in the vineyard. Thanks to Marius' hospitality, we were able to appreciate the wines offered, all really good, in a very elegant atmosphere. A picnic area was set up for us among the vineyards. Marius was really friendly during our experience, letting us try different wines, both white and red. In the basket, we found a fantastic focaccia with mortadella, cherry tomatoes and mozzarella and some typical desserts. A delicious experience that I highly recommend to enjoy in total relaxation

Very nice, historical and personal. Guide and owner were both very social and knowledgeable, and the place is beautiful.

Although we weren't exactly spontaneous—we had arrived in a camper van—a winery employee took the time to sample some excellent wines with us, almost in person. And at no point did we feel like everything had to be rushed. Quite the opposite! We were able to sample everything, including the winery's own olive oil. A big thank you to the team!

We spent the morning with this lovely and charming family. They made us feel at home and showed us many details about the great history of this family business. A very detailed tasting, unhurried, with laughter, warmth, and lots of love from everyone. Here's a well-earned review. Your passion for explaining what you do with so much love deserves to be known by everyone. We wish you the best. Marcos and Yolanda. Seville and Cadiz.

The villa is set on beautifully landscaped grounds with a cypress avenue, vineyards, and olive groves. The villa initially appears somewhat run-down. But when you hear the story behind it, you'll be truly impressed. They've made a real effort to preserve the house's original appearance, both inside and out, over the centuries. The many stories behind it were incredibly fascinating. The wine tasting was very pleasant and entertaining. We were able to sample five different wines with some cheese, bread, and the property's own olive oil. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed the visit to the winery, and even more so the wine tasting and the explanations from our host, the Dottore. If you're near Arezzo, don't miss this visit! You can clearly see the passion they put into their wines and oil! A pleasure!
