Castello di Monterinaldi was the first place visited on a full day winery tour for our group of 16, and it was the perfect place to start our day. Georgia, our hostess was delightful and created a wonderful experience for us all. The wines were wonderful and the experience is first rate. The property is beautiful and this is a great destination for a tour or tour and meal.

Pornanino

- Seminars and tours are upon request - This unique talk on bio and chemical free gourmet extra virgin olive oil, given by Matteo, expert as well as one of Chianti's premier olive growers, is a chance to learn how the best oil is made and why it requires careful handling at each step of its production. The talk is given at the Lombardi Estate tasting room, surrounded by his 4,000 olive trees. This is also where the stone frantoio (olive press of which this is one of only 14 presses in Tuscany) is located, so you will be able to see the stone grinding wheels and press that delivers the oil from the olives.

Visiting this unique farm with friends from Livorno we hadn’t seen in 27 years was truly a wonderful experience. Our friends drove and oh what breathtaking views we had through this part of Tuscany. Many of the roads are unpaved, very curvy and yet this is part of the rustic charm. Matteo is the 2nd generation in the family business and we certainly hope not the last! He explains what types of olives are used and why, when and how the olives are harvested, the whole production process, why they aren’t part of the organic program and most interesting to me was what makes their small farm so unique and so important to support. We purchased their home made olive oil soap and are anticipating the mid December arrival of our pre-ordered oils. To taste the difference in the oil is proof that this family are masters of their craft and we will be repeat customers as are so many others.

Volpaia

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!
