The Castle of Monterinaldi, situated between Panzano and Radda in Chianti, in the center of the historic zone of Classical Chianti, is near an ancient Etruscan track. This historic site is mentioned in a document written in December 1010, which refers to “the Count Gottifredo Gottizio, of Longobard stock and a gentleman of Monterinaldi.” At Castello Monterinaldi you are welcome every day!
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.

- 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.

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.

Free Wine Tastings and Wine Tours in Chianti Classico, Tuscany.
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.

A wonderful location in the middle of Brancaia’s vineyard with a fantastic panoramic view. Welcome to a true Chianti experience. We visited Brancaia with some friends and family members for their weekly Friday theme dinner. Last night the theme was “Basil” and it was a feast: Italians will tell you that the best ingredients make for the best recipes....and they’re right... simply wonderful. Great service, friendly faces, wonderful view, and tasty food without of course forgetting the wine: Brancaia Blu 2009 (very impressive...). A place to visit for the wine, but also for their excellent food and kind welcome. We highly recommend their Friday dinners! Thank you to the Brancaia Team!

The wines produced on the estate of Volpaia are among the best in the Chianti Classico area, and the cellars are well worth a visit.
We recently visited this winery and were able to tour the property. The setting is beautiful and the drive up the hill is gorgeous. The tour was excellent. Our guide Matilde was extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer questions along the way. The wine itself is delicious and a great representation of the location and region. Award winning wine and a beautiful location, what could be better!

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!
