At the second villa, still in the same family since the 1500s, wander through vineyards and elegant gardens before indulging in a guided tasting of fine wines, including a Vin Santo paired with dried fruits. At both estates, tradition meets innovation, offering a deep dive into Tuscan winemaking excellence.
Cultural and Historical Highlights
Tuscan wine has long been a symbol of nobility, refinement, and tradition. Estates like the ones you’ll visit embody centuries of care for the land and artistry in transforming grapes into vintages that are revered worldwide.
