We have just returned from a fabulous bike tour (off road and our first experience of electric bikes) with Elisabeth as our guide. The bikes were tremendous (high quality, well serviced, new) and booking was straightforward and very efficient. The experience was out of this world. The views were heavenly and the spots Elisabeth took us to we would not have found ourselves. Elizabeth’s combined knowledge of bikes, Tuscan hill routes and wine is a potent combination. Our trip was a little bit of paradise on wheels. Could not recommend highly enough.

This castle is beautiful and has incredible views of the hills below it, and was the perfect setting for me to propose to my girlfriend! The winery associated with it is gorgeous as well and you get a free glass of wine there with your castle ticket. We are certainly going back someday soon!

I’ve done few research and decided to visit this winery. We booked Classic Tour which was 2.5 hours (€35 per adults and €20 per child) . It was really a great mixture as the castle , where the family still lives, is stunning. This winery is the oldest in Chianti and dates back to 1141! The family has a very interesting history and some members played many important roles including being Prime Ministers twice. We also visited old wine cellar in the castle and modern production facility with the bottling plant . During the tasting we tried 3 different types: 2 were Chianti and 1 Merlot. If you’ve been on the tour you will also have 10% discount in the shop. They also sell some whites and rose which was a favourite of mine! Absolutely delicious and fresh- would highly recommend it. The trattoria opposite the shops serves great lunches and coffee. We had a mixed plate of ham and cheese afterwards.
