If you're in the area I recommend you eat there (Osteria Del Vecchio Oliva)..it's about a mile away.

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

I was so excited to visit Castello di Verrazzano and I'm disappointed that I did not have a…read morepositive experience. As a Black woman from the U.S., I faced poor customer service and discrimination. My tour guide, Tomaso, was rude and condescending. First, he ignored me and other people of color in my group by not speaking to us or even giving eye contact at the beginning of the tour. Second, Tomaso told me that I wasn't allowed to record videos as this was the owner's rule and he demanded that I delete any videos from my phone. I felt that he was singling me out and trying to embarrass me. This "policy" was not shared in writing or verbally in advance. Also, I've seen other guests post videos on social media, even days before my visit, which included Tomaso's face. The energy of the tour felt unwelcoming. During the tasting, no one followed up to ask how I was enjoying the wines or if I was interested in purchasing. It felt like the establishment didn't care about my business. Next, the staff said I could take photos with my wine in front of the amazing terrace view, then they refused. The castle shouldn't schedule tastings right before closing if guests will be pushed out. The only reason I didn't leave a one star review is due to a good experience with an outstanding staff member. Sole was very nice and offered me a ride to my car! She's the kind of employee who should be rewarded for going above and beyond and providing wonderful service to guests. Overall, the castle was beautiful, but the tour was dry with no enthusiasm and the service was lacking. Some staff seemed more concerned with showing attention to white guests and heading home than providing a memorable visit for everyone. I envisioned a once-in-a-lifetime experience that would leave me feeling enlightened, supported, and valued. Instead, I felt dismissed, excluded, and disrespected. I will return to Tuscany, but to a different winery that prides themselves on excellent service and fairness for all.

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.
