β β β β β Wouldn't it be great if the Chianti Classico wine producers had a central location where visitors could come and learn about what makes the region special, the various brands of the region, and what the individual wineries had to offer?
Unfortunately, the execution of the idea is poor. The tastings are over-priced with no descriptions, and the service--if you can call it that--not only lack enthusiasm but is down right rude. It's unfortunate because this place could really be a boon for agritourism in the region.
The consortium needs a new staff and a new approach, but until then you're better off picking a few wineries to visit where the people take pride in what they do.

β β β β β I came here because it was close to where I was staying. I was a bit confused as to what it had to offer so when I drove there with my mates it was lovely to walk around and discover that it's an enoteca with a restaurant in another room. We fell head over heels in love with the waiting staff as the waiter sat us down for lunch by a window with the most beautiful views of rolling Tuscan hillsides. Before sitting down to eat, we approached the sommelier in the enoteca to ask him for wine recommendations for lunch, and we checked out the bistrot online and discovered that they hand roll their pici. We couldn't resist ordering their pici cacio e pepe. Oh my, best pici cacio e pepe I've ever had. It's a slight portion but it was highly indulgent and satisfying - with this food and lovely wine, we were in heaven!
We shared their homemade tiramisu which was very good. After lunch we decided to do a wine tasting as the enoteca happened to be empty. It was super fun as we were given a couple of interesting examples of chianti but we weren't allowed to taste it until we had gone upstairs and followed the chianti journey through time. We returned to the sommelier after the tour to discuss the experience. We also wanted to take advantage of his knowledge and hospitality and bought a bunch of excellent wines to enjoy back at our airbnb. I cannot recommend this place enough: really knowledgeable and lovely staff, the wine selection is great, the museum/tasting is fun and the food was top. I cannot wait to come back!

β β β β β Highlight of our Tuscany Experience! In May, six of us from Florida spent a week in Tuscany. We toured a number of very nice wineries, but Chianti Classico was the most enjoyable. The setting (a very old and beautiful convent) is lovely. Alessandro and the staff gave us a great guided tastings tour, which was also quite educational. It was a lovely experience. Delightful, indeed!

β β β β β Outstanding Dinner and Beautiful Setting, you have many seating rooms, the Cloister, the main dining room and a patio overlooking the hillside (lunch only). The menu is amazing and the preparation, presentation is evident in the great taste. The two ladies who run it make sure every detail is exceeded. Even the home made bread.

β β β β β What a lovely experience for us. We stopped by for lunch and wanted to buy some good wine. The lunch was very tasty and the wine was great. Service was friendly and knowledgeable and the prices were good too.
Would love to come back for some proper wine tasting and tour when we have more time!

β β β β β Nice food and good serving. Some plate are sometimes a bit simple (eg tuna with potatoes and young salad) for such a restaurant. Very impressive card of wines obviously. Nice view.

β β β β β We stopped by here for a wine tasting and lunch on our way through Tuscany. The lunch was very nice and the place is beautiful - it has a great view of the surrounding vineyards. We don't speak Italian and they were able to do the tasting in English. I'd recommend you stop on your way though, they have a great range of wines and a lovely cellar.
