Vignavecchia Estate has been in the Beccari family since 1840. It Vignavecchia has produced and bottled wine since 1876 when it was inherited by the couple's only heir, OdoardoBeccari (1843-1920). Odoardo Beccari was a Florentine explorer, zoologist and botanist who retired to the winery and devoted himself to cultivating the family vineyards after many years of exploring the forests of Borneo, Celebes, New Guinea, Sumatra, the Moluccas, Australia, Tasmania and many other islands, returning to Italy with rare zoological and botanical collections. In 1924, Baccio Beccari, Odoardo's third son, became one of the founding members of the Chianti Classico Consortium, and with the help of his brother Renzo, continued the family tradition of collecting fine vintages. The company still maintains the Beccari family's private cellar with bottles dating from 1876 to 1931.Today, Vignavecchia is still owned and managed by Odoardo Beccari's great-grandchildren.

Rustic and charming winery with super vistas of chianti countryside. My wife, son and I sampled six wines. The sample tastings were a generous pour. Our server was informative and cheerful. We purchased a three pack of their olive oils and have had them since our visit. Outstanding. Wines were good as well, but our suitcases wouldn't allow for taking any back home. Truly a delightful stop. Don't miss it.

I will return here. This is the idyllic Tuscan setting. A charming hilltop town complete with chapel, winery, wine bar, and Michelin star restaurant. Super private and very quiet. If you’re looking for a relaxing spot to have great food and wine, come here! Our driver Antonio brought us here in between our wine tasting at Fontodi and dinner at Dario Cecchini’s Officina della Bistecca. We didn’t know what to expect and were thrilled when we pulled up to hill to this sweet town. We walked up and got an impromptu wine tasting from Francesco. We tasted just about everything in their line up, except the sparkling, which we happily took chilled with us to dinner. We just had awesome tastings at San Felice and Fontodi and Volpaia’s wines stood up to the excellent offerings at these nearby spots. This is a wonderful place to get introduced to Chianti Classico. Next time we are in Tuscany I will definitely look at staying here. It’s absolutely beautiful and has everything you need!
