We did our tasting outside looking over the vineyards and country side. They offer 6 wines and you can choose to taste 4 or all 6. We chose 6 and they were all good. The woman working brought 1-2 wines at a time over to our table at a time, told us about the wines, and then left us to enjoy it. Our group's favorite was the Merlot. They also offered bread with their own olive oil, and some delicious crostini. Once we were done with our tasting, we were also offered a tour of their cellar where we learned about their winemaking process. I'd highly recommend a visit if you are in the area- it was about a 20 minute taxi from Lucca

Luckily we jumped in n a group of our friends return and we all split it so $70 per couple. YIKES!

Unfortunately, we got to the vineyard after sunset so we did not get to enjoy the scenery nor check out their grapes and vineyard. For the wine tasting and dinner, the wine and pairing food is excellent. We got a brief introduction of Italian wines, grapes, DOC and DOCG quality control. For welcome and aperitif, we had Pinot grigio. It is slight sweet, light, fruity and refreshing. Cheese and aged meat plates were served with their balsamic oil, olive oil with chilly and truffle, paired with Rosa Rosae 2015. Rosa Rosae is dry, more tannic than their Pinot Grigio, fruity taste. Pasta dish was paired with Chianti Classico 2015. Pasta was very al dente. Chianti classico is dry, medium bodied, tannic. I don't know much about wine but everyone at my table seemed to enjoy it. Pig carre cooked with desert wine and salad with their olive oil paired with Chianti Classico Riserva 2015. I generally don't like pork but this is cooked perfectly and not gamy. As far as pork goes, it is pretty tasty. By this time, we were all tipsy and happy... so everything was great! For desert, we had cantuccinni paired with Vin Santo del Chianti Classico. We dipped cantuccini (biscotti) in the sweet wine. It was delicious! Overall, everyone in our group enjoyed the dinner and wine. The food and wine portion was very generous! I would definitely come back here to check out their vineyard. They also provide farm stay via their website.

All of it was INCREDIBLE! This meal was served with 10 different wines and at the end we got to try their grappa and limoncello. We bought so many bottles of wine, limoncello, and grappa to take home - they were all so wonderful. Simone and Manuela were both so extremely helpful in assisting us with transportation from the historic district and very communicative during the booking process. You can tell they are passionate about their craft! I definitely recommend this for couples, families, and any large group looking to have a relaxing and fun time in Tuscany! Grazie to Manuela and Simone for hosting us!

We grabbed a bottle of wine on a warmer June afternoon after a day of exploring, which was definitely refreshing. The location isn't much as it overlooks a pretty bare piazza. The service can be a bit on the slower side, especially when I walked in and tried to get the bill. But still if you're able to get a table it's a pretty quaint wine bar. It seemed like they had some flights/tastings, which would have been an interesting option.

The rolling hills are filled with vineyards, olive groves and woodlands. Our guide showed us the vineyards with the roses planted at the end of each row of grapes. Romantic?? Roses and grapes share the same requirements for sunshine and soil. They also attract pests like aphids away from the precious grapes and can signal if the vineyard is not in a healthy environment. They also attract bees that are helpful for pollination. The olive groves were also stunning. Would like to sample their organic extra virgin olive oil on our next trip to Tuscany. What a wonderful detour. Grazie Mille, Gian Luca, for sharing this special moment with my family.

I reached out to the restaurant and they were so accommodating to fit us into the only day we could visit. They send you a text the day of to reconfirm your reservations. The vineyard looks amazing at first glance! You walk up their famous spiral staircase to get to the restaurant. Too bad it was raining the morning before we visited because outdoor seating would have been nice in the tented area. There were still covered outside seating but we opted to dine in. They gave us an amazing table facing the vineyard so we could appreciate the scenery. Weather worked for us because we got to enjoy our entire lunch without any rain. We looked at the menu and Mink ordered their Maccheroncelli al sugo di anatra and I ordered Tagliata di manzo alla griglia e patate arrosto medium rare. They came out with complimentary bread and poured some of their current EVOO on suggesting we add a little salt. EVOO in Italy is amazing! It was a good snack while I was going through three wines by the glass list. The food came out after 10-15 minutes and we dug in. Mink enjoyed her order but is at the point of the trip where she's had too much pasta. She did really like my potatoes though. My dish was prepared perfectly and was a good compliment to all the wine I was drinking. After we finished eating, we were offered dessert but declined. They brought out some complimentary dessert for us anyways which was very nice. This is absolutely something you should do when in Tuscany. The taxi ride was a little pricey at €140 round trip (about 16 minute each way). It was still a lot cheaper than Uber though. If Mink drank, I would have loved to have done the wine tasting but the compromise was dining at Rinuccio 1180. Good food, beautiful view and exceptional service. Ecstatic that I got to visit Antinori nel Chianti Classico winery (2022 best winery in the world).

Our friend realized he messed up our reservation day on the drive over and thank god the staff graciously allowed us to dine with them for lunch anyway. We started with a beautiful cheese and spread selection, a white fish puttanesca salad that was fresh and crisp. The mushroom soup unfortunately was a huge flop comparably to the tier of the other appetizers. Everything about it was not good (texture, flavor), presentation- they emulsified it so no physical mushrooms were present. Though the (small serving) of pasta, fish and lamb rack (served medium rare, more rare than medium) did not disappoint! We finished with this lemon passion fruit meringue pie which was one of the best things I've ever had in my life. The apple tart and complimentary sweets were also great. But all in all, while some dishes had took for opportunity, you're coming here for the views and experience. It feels like you're sitting on a movie set. So not skip this when in Tuscany!
