★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was a rainy day, and the restaurant was not operating. Yet, they saw we came from far and they set a table especially for us. The food was absolutely amazing, the service was great and the return for the money was good. For only €30 pp we received a 4-course meal with 4 glasses of wine (one for each course). I strongly recommend visiting here

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had one of the best if not the best ever wine tour/tasting/lunches here at Albola. What an attentive and knowledgeable staff, especially our guide Matteo. I learned things about wine production I never knew before, and seeing the hundreds-of-years-old wine cellars really gave a sense of history. The lunch was delicious, the wines high quality, and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Grand old winery
We were greeted by a lovely woman, I believe originally from Belgium who showed our group into the dining room. The beautiful table was set with white linen and delicate sparkling wine glasses. She explained the different wines to enjoy with our delicious meal. Afterwards we were lead to the cellar for a very informative tour, showing the different wines and different size barrels of wine. In one room was a gorgeous piece of art work made out of a part of an old barrel. We viewed the garden with its trimmed rosemary and enjoyed the breathtaking view of the surround hills and valleys with row after row of grape vines. I would highly recommend this extremely well kept winery and purchase some wine and olive oil. A wonderful way to spend a relaxing few hours.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great tour by guide Carlo who shared a lot of information. The wine tasting thereafter was fantastic and made us buy some Chardonnay and Chianti Classico. Also enjoyed the lunch at the castle, simple but great quality and modest price. Absolutely recommend for wine lovers.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This wine tasting was one of the best experiences on our trip to Tuscany. Really great wines (not sour as generally expected with Chianti Classico), well balanced extra virgin olive oil and kind staff. Great value for money. For 10€ you can taste 5 glasses of excellent wines and additionally (included in 10€ price) 2 more glasses at the end (plus tasting of their premium extra virgin olive oil).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visiting from Miami- i did my research beforehand on which Chianti vineyards were beat know for hospitality, taste, and memorable wine tour experiences. We could not be any happier with our visit to this beautiful historic castle and vineyard in Radda Chianti region.
We booked our private cellar and vineyard tour with library tasting of 4 wines 2 weeks ahead of time via email.
Matilde was our host and she gave us a very memorable experience visiting the outside vineyards and looking at grape texture Sangiovese grapes to the vip cellar and large barrel cellars where their Chianti and Reserve wines age in beautiful-oak barrels.
The tour lasted 1 hour and we were impressed by the tasting service in the library which includes 4 wines (Chianti, Chianti Reserve, & upper end wines Santa Catarina and Il Solatio)...wow were we impressed by elegance and robust smooth taste of all for wines esp the last 2–> we ended up buying 12 bottles and they included boxes for the wine as well.
Overall Matilde’s hospitality and the vineyards historic story and passion for producing Chianti wines made this a memorable and unforgettable experience.
Highly recommend avoiding large charter bus “chianti tours” that may take u to less notable vineyards and instead if u can plan ahead- choose to rent & drive yourself to this historic vineyard and experience its beauty and elegance w great wines.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a very enjoyable wine tasting at Albola Castle. the team were very knowledgable and spent nearly an hour with us talking us through their wine and various vineyards. Was a very enjoyable experience and very reasonably priced. Came away with quite a few bottles too! Well worth a visit.
