The castle was amazing and so was the winery. But the best part was the tour guide and the time he spent with us

I was blown away by the coordination and excellent customer service of this experience. The castle and grounds were unbelievably beautiful and the wine was excellent. We enjoyed ourselves so much we decided to stay for lunch at the restaurant on site and it ended up being one of our favorite meals of the week. This was one of the best full day experiences i have ever had in Tuscany and i would recommend it to anyone. Both the coordinator and our wine guide were wonderful to work with.

This is one of THE best experiences on our trip. We highly recommend it and give it 5 stars plus! We did the wine tasting AND the pasta making. We highly recommend doing both. The area is absolutely beautiful. First we learned about the vineyard, then about the history of the castle. then we had a tour in the castle and continued learning about the making of wine and olive oil. After the tour, we went into the huge kitchen and learned had to make pasta with two different types of sauces. The chef was very patient and was very informative. To our surprise, after we made the pasta, we were escorted into the castle dining room for our special dinner which was served to us. First an antipasto, then our two different pasta dishes along with the wine tastings and followed by a dessert wine! My husband is still talking about it and was so grateful that we booked the tour and the pasta making. Not far from the center of Florence and a beautiful area to really see what Tuscany is all about. You will absolutely love this experience!
