We didn't have reservations, so we just drove up. Thanks to a Google review tip, we weren't deterred by the closed gate and called the tasting room through the gate box. They answered and happily let us in. The drive through the vineyards was lovely, and when we reached the tasting room, we found the view from the covered patio to be exquisite. The man helping us was so incredibly kind. He gave us the history of the Swedish family that owns it and explained that much of the beautiful tasting room is brand new. We got to sample their wines on the patio while enjoying the view; and he was so generous to provide us with local cheeses, crackers, and bread to enjoy with our wine. We feasted like kings. We took several bottles with us and how I wish this place was local to me as if I would be returning on a regular basis.

Highly recommend this particular winery to visit and tour when visiting the area!

I actually think we were probably the last couple to enjoy this beautiful space before Covid & Shelter in place occurred. We had a grand tour of the magical land, got to taste from the barrel in the cave and we dined on delicious local treats made by David. I still make the cannelini bean salad we had that day. You can probably tell but I shared a special day with Tuscanwinedog, he's lovely dog. Last but not least, was the delicious wine accompanied by the great conversation, I could have drank more, more & more! Thank you, we can't wait return and visit again.

Our Contiki group came here as part of our tour and we were treated to a tour of the cellar, a brief discussion about the winery, and wine tasting complete with cheese pairing. They also offered olive oil tasting which was not to be missed. We tried the chianti and the chianti reserva (aged longer). Both wines were very nice and affordable. I opted to buy a bottle of chianti to bring back in my suitcase whereas others bought them to ship back home. One girl bought a few bottles to smuggle in her suitcase. You're allowed to bring back 2 bottles at the most so I don't suggest trying it but she managed 10. We also tried the vinsanto with almond biscotti. That's a dessert wine the monks used to use as 'medicine'. Nowadays, they serve it with biscotti to dip into while sipping it as a dessert wine. They also sell special bubble wrap in the shape of wine bottles to protect your new investments for 2,10 euro. Not too bad if you think the TSA will be rough with your luggage and most of the time that's true. The staff was very kind and they take US dollars as well as euros.

Excellent -- Exceeded Our Expectations!…read more What an incredible experience! Our wine tasting at Tenuta Torciano was one of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The wines were exceptional, the food was delicious, and the setting was absolutely beautiful. A special thank you to Carlos, who was an amazing host. He brought so much energy, humor, and knowledge to the experience. We learned a great deal about the wines and the region while having an absolute blast. Carlos made everyone in our group feel like family. We came with our family of nine from Boston and San Diego and every single person had a wonderful time. If you're visiting Tuscany, this is a MUST-DO experience!! Highly recommend! Cheers from the Giblin family!

My wine was shipped without cold packs in 94 degree Texas heat and loosely wrapped. Unfortunately, the wine was hot to touch so the wine isn't good. I've been trying to get this matter resolved with no luck so far. Instead, my emails are being ignored. I have worked in the wine industry for many years and would never treat a customer like this. I'd be glad to update this review if and when the matter gets resolved.

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

Please take my advice! Visit Rome, but while you are in Rome, visit Italy! Don't let that go…read moreover your head! Perhaps it could be said that no tour of Italy is complete, without a Tuscan wine tour! Our home base was Rome, which was already awesome, but the four of Pienza and Montepulciano, located roughly 2-3 hours outside of Rome, made our vacation experience all the more rich, savory, and sweet! Please consider a visit to Tuscany while you are in Rome! Please take my advice and explore the small towns for an incredible wine tasting experience! We booked all of our tours through Viator, which can easily be accessed through the Viator app! Please allow Rome to be your home base for amazing wine tasting adventures! You can thank me later!

Our tour included: - Comfortable bus/van rides to and from our B&B - A walking tour of Volterra - Lunch and a wine tour of an excellent local winery - A brief tour of San Gimignano and time to explore the city - Tons of interesting history of Italy and the Etruscan civilization - Great recommendations of other things to do while we were in the area Annie was an amazing guide who is super passionate about what she does. She makes history fun and interesting (even on cold mornings when your whole group *may or may not* be totally hungover). She arranged an amazing luxury bus and a wonderful driver (Paolo) to safely ferry us from place to place. She also set up an amazing winery visit where we enjoyed a beautiful lunch, a tasty selection of wine, olive oil and a tour of a grape-to-bottle wine operation. Tuscan Tours also offers a full day of wine tours if that is your group's preference. The owners are fluent in English and Italian and are super easy to communicate with from afar. I highly recommend making this a part of your Tuscan adventure!
