The Bottaia tour was extremely informative and truly worthwhile. Our guide did an excellent job, making the experience both engaging and enjoyable. The architecture of the winery was absolutely breathtaking—a real highlight for both wine enthusiasts and architecture lovers.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Antinori nel Chianti Classico winery. The service was incredibly warm and personal, which is truly impressive for a place of this size. It really shows that when a business is family-run, you get a completely different level of care and attention. The winery itself is beautiful, the wines we tasted were fantastic, and the food was delicious. It’s absolutely worth every cent if you’re visiting Tuscany. You can have a really amazing experience here.

It was an absolutely astonishing piece of architecture where the vineyard made the roof and the entire building merged with the nature landscape. It gives a nice modern and edgy atmosphere to wine tasting. The wine was amazing and the staff was very professional in helping non-Italian speakers like us. Only downside was the carpark is a bit far away which would be challenging for elderly.

We did a private tour that included lunch and it was definitely worth the cost. Our guide was knowledgeable and very fun! It was so cool to se inside the winery.

An unforgettable experience! The architecture alone made the visit worthwhile—simply stunning. We had the Cru tasting and lunch, held in the barrel cellar (unf8not not the glass cube). The tasting was performed very well, with a thoughtful storyline accompanying each wine. There was great attention to identifying flavors, making it accessible for less experienced wine lovers, while also offering seasoned enthusiasts a fascinating glimpse into the workings of a large winery and a chance to taste high-quality select wines. Lunch was delicious, with excellent wine pairings, and the service remained friendly and accommodating despite the high volume of visitors.

One of the best experiences we had on our trip to Italy. The winery is so well designed and very unique! The views with the beautiful staircase and the picturesque background of the rural Tuscan region is breathtaking. The tour of the winery was well organized and offered lots of history and knowledge as to how a winery gets a DOCG certification on their wine bottles. They have been creating and selling wine for almost 700 years! The wine tasting portion of the tour was excellent, I do wish they they did provide us with cheese and meats to eat with our wine from the region to know that the wine pairs well with and because the tour is a little lengthy and you do build up an appetite. The restaurant at the top of the winery closes at 4pm so if you want to eat after the tour be mindful of this and try to grab an early tour. Overall, a wonderful experience! Would love to return one day to enjoy the restaurant with a beautiful view of Tuscany.

Really unique vineyard to visit for lunch. They don’t really lean into their own wine as much as high end bottles at restaurant but the food is great and venue is one of a kind

Large winery with a beautiful facility. The wines come from various locations throughout Italy, which they own. Great place to start the day. Parking is across the street.They do have a shuttle bus if you choose.

Architecture concept blends with the landscape, and exhibiting the process of metal rusting parallel with the process of wine fermentation. The experience was so good, until finally I found myself stuck on the roof finding the way out as they always need to close the spiral steps for maintenance. Beautiful architecture that doesn’t work in real life.😔

Fabulous place

(Translated by Google) Really great and impressive winery! Worth a trip just because of the architecture. The wines and gastronomy are upscale and also recommended for connoisseurs. I skipped the wine and enjoyed the architecture!! Must see!! (Original) Wirklich tolles und beeindruckendes Weingut! Alleine wegen der Architektur einen Ausflug Wert. Die Weine und Gastronomie sind gehoben und für Kenner ebenfalls zu empfehlen. Ich habe den Wein ausgelassen und habe mich an der Architektur erfreut!! Must-See!!

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 recommendations

(Translated by Google) It is a top-class winery. All facilities are of the highest level in Italy. Needless to say, this is a place you must visit at least once if you come to Tuscany. (Original) 최상급 와이너리 모든 시설이 이탈리아 최고 수준의 와니너리다 말이 필요없다 토스카나 온다면 한번쯤은 꼭 와보아야 할 곳이다.

(Translated by Google) It is definitely worth a visit, the entire winery is an architectural experience. (Original) Určite stojí za návštevu, celé miesto vinárne je architektonický zážitok.

Loved every single second of our “A Real Tuscan Wine & Food Experience.” From service, to location, to food, and drink, it was as good as we could have ever hoped for. Booking was easy and transportation, which was the most difficult part, they made sure to guide us through the process being as helpful as possible. It was personalized for our private group of 6 and the friendliness of Simone and Manuela made the visit even more special. So much delicious food, even better wine, all capped off with pristine views. Absolutely worth every second and cent. Thank you Simone and Manuela!

We rented one of their homes. It was a great find. We sat on the patio at the house and drank wine overlooking their beautiful vineyard. So peaceful. Before we left, we ordered a case of wine and had it shipped back to the US. It just arrived, perfectly packed and intact. This is such a nice winery with very friendly and helpful owners. We’d love to go back for another stay and more wine.

This was by far the best wine experience we’ve been to. This was our second visit. The drive from Siena was amazing and the winery is stunning. Simone is very knowledgeable and his presentation was informative. He recommended travel routes that took us through the heart of Tuscany and even drove others to the local bus station. The wine and olive oil are superb and we’re shipping a case home.

Been here for the wine tasting only, their wines are solid but what is incredible is the views and the how quiet the places is, the pictures speak for themselves.

I had an unforgettable experience at Il Pelagio winery, led by Simone and his family. The passion and knowledge they shared about Tuscan wines were truly inspiring. I especially loved the history of tuscan wine and Simones teachings. Every moment, from the vineyard to the wine tasting, was perfect and very satisfying. I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to immerse themselves in authentic Tuscan hospitality and exceptional wines. Thank you, Simone and family, for a fantastic day.

I cannot recommend this place enough! We had first visited the vineyard back in 2019 for my birthday & we had an amazing time, on the day the heavens decided to open and we ended up doing the tasting inside (which was still a beautiful location.) Fast forward to this year, we were getting married in Tuscany and as part of our wedding trip we had organised wine tasting for our guests, I had shopped around a lot and decided to come back. I had emailed Simone 6 months in advance, as we were such a big group (around 40 people) and Simone was super helpful throughout the whole process of booking and staying in contact. When we arrived, everyone had enjoyed the view of the vineyard and then we were taken on the tour of the cellars, which all of our guests found really interesting and educational. Once we had sat down at the courtyard, we had started the wine tasting, which all of our guest really enjoyed along with the cheese and meats (even our guests who do not often drink wine, found a glass or two that they loved!) I honestly, cannot recommend this place enough! - but thank you to Simone and the team for always making us feel welcome and keeping our glasses full!

Excellent wine - yeah we’re looking forward. The owner is very knowledgeable. Take his time explaining the process in the wine. I would highly highly highly recommend this tour.

We stopped here as part of a ebike tour. All the food was delicious and very well presented. It was cool to see the wine cellar and see the barrels and concrete spaces that they make the wine in. If we had been ae to sit and overlook the hills and vineyard the atmosphere would have been better. The space next to the road wasn't terrible but the other side would have been better. The wine was good too.

I popped in with a friend for a quick drink, but was met with some of the worst service I’ve experienced. The staff were rude and completely disinterested. It’s a shame because the venue itself is beautiful, but honestly, not worth your time or money.

Stunning place in Tuscan countryside. Perfect to visit any time of the day, but the most beautiful experience is to come for aperitivo and stay watching the sunset. Place gets very busy in the afternoon, evening, so pre-booking Your experience is a good choice. Connections to a famous Niccolo Machiavelli adds special charm to the Borgo. Definitely one of the hidden gems worth visiting.

We went here on a recommendation of a friend. It was slow season - beginning of March, so some of the experiences were not available. But we had a wonderful lunch - was one of the top meals we had in Italy. The dinning room we ate in was so cozy - with a lovely fire. Beautiful location. Our only very small complaint is that when you park in the bottom parking lot it was not easy to figure out where the restaurant was, but I think it was becuase it was slow season and not many people about. Would highly recommend!

The sundowner drink with good music was very nice. The food in the upper part fancy restaurant didn’t really convince us for the price.

Really great restaurants. We received a basket of lovely bread and olive oil but never received plates. Food was really good but we were a party of 6 and the food came out intermittently with main courses for some coming out before our first courses. Probably a kitchen sequence issue. All in all great location and good quality food.

Fantastic dinner with an amazing hospitality, they use coravin for the service of a glass of wine from 2020, really appreciated.

We were very disappointed with the place after reading such a great previous reviews. Ok - the guide said a lot of information- but with wine it is not just about what is said - but how it is said. The guide was very tired but he tried hard…We decided for 4 Wines with CHARCUTERIE-CURED MEAT/4 VINI con TAGLIERE AFFETTATI- the meat was not tasty… we ordered cheese- we didn’t like it as well. What was worth attention is the Olive Oil ( to taste it you pay extra) and the “Saint Wine” - we payed extra for that es well. The prices of the wine are high when you compare it to quality. In my opinion- the place was designed for big American groups or people who have no idea about the wine. We bought a bottle of a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione- for 38 Euro but we didn’t have a chance to taste it yet… Before visiting that place me and my boyfriend have been to different wineries in Italy, Spain and Greece and we both have the same opinion on the experience.

Benedetta was FANTASTIC! Greeted us like family friends vs tour patrons. Gave us a very thorough enlightening tour of the vines, olive trees, vine to wine processing area & cellar. We learned A Lot & she welcomed questions. The wines were SO good, we had 6 bottles shipped back to the States. Cheese board was DELICIOUS with creamy sheep cheeses & jam. Such a beautiful intimate family owned winery. We will definitely be back!

We book for 4 wine and cheese tasting. The wine was very good but for us what really matters was the special experience of the amazing tour. This is the best winery that we visited in Tuscany for sure. They showed us everything and everybody was so friendly and welcoming with a lot of knowledge and patience. You shouldn’t skip this winery!!

We chose to visit a smaller winery (we love supporting smaller, family-owned businesses), and wow, what a place! We opted for a tour and wine tasting with a charcuterie board. Benedetta was a fantastic host and tour guide. While we weren’t able to tour the fields (it was raining earlier in the day, and for safety reasons we could not make the trek down), the winery was beautiful and quiet. We were greeted by puppies when we initially arrived, and took a very informative tour going through the wine-making process. After our tour, we had a delightful wine tasting, and enjoyed every single glass. We also opted to try the Vino Santo for dessert. It was a remarkable experience! While we waited for our bus, we sat outside and enjoyed the sun and neighboring kitty. This experience was one of my favorites from our trip to Italia. Unforgettable and highly recommend!!

I had an amazing experience!! Simone was wonderful. She was so sweet and kind. Good wines! I enjoyed the sweet wine and i was impressed by the balsamic oil! First time with a sweet taste and so delicious. Thank you Simone!! :)

We found Terre di Perseto by chance as a last winery before we left Tuscany. I genuinely loved every wine we had. I think their Chanti were some of my favourites and the olive oil was fantastic. It was only made better by the wonderful people at the winery. Definitely a gem, definitely worth a stop. It will be on my list of places to recommend.

We are really feeling grateful to have experience a journey with you. As french wine and good food lovers we really appreciated the moment it was our first time discovering the Chianti region and its local wine production . Definitely one of the best tasting we had so far. For my friend it was her first ever wine tasting in a domain she really appreciated it. We learnt a lot and share an excellent time together ! Gracie Mille ! Arrivederci !

We had tasting of 3 wines here and we were just amazed how welcome we felt! Also we were served some delicious bruschetta, cheese, meats, olive oil, vinegar… The host was really nice and you can tell she is doing this with lots of passion and joy. I can only recommend this estate to everyone who is looking for a real tuscan experience!

My husband and I did a wine tasting here the other day while we were staying in the area, and it was wonderful. The owner (Antonella Mori) hosted us personally and explained the wine and the olive oil that they have produced for generations. We tasted 3 wines and she served cheese, meats, and bread with their own olive oil and 3 different vinegars, along with their homegrown tomatoes which were sweet and ripe. She even told us the story of why the black rooster is a symbol of Chianti Classico wine and Tuscany (during a medieval dispute over the Chianti territory, Florence and Siena agreed to meet at dawn to determine the border using roosters). We bought olive oil to ship home and two bottles of wine to take back to the hotel with us. A delightful experience!

This was such an amazing experience. This is a small home grown operation (only 5,000 bottle of wine a year) making their own wine, olive oils, balsamics and herbs. Make sure to call ahead to schedule a tasting. Me and my family went middle of week and had a wonderful time. I’m forgetting our host name but she answered right away on her phone and was very accommodating/knowledgeable and so welcoming. You are right in heart of Chianti/Tuscany wine country. One thing to note is the tasting is done inside so don’t expect to sit on a patio. But highly recommend. Great to support local operations like this!

Don’t get fooled by large, corporate, mass operations! This spot is the real deal! Literally a family home that also has 2,000+ Olive trees and 10 hectares of grape vines! In the family since 1967! You’ll see the grandkids bikes out on the driveway! Stop your search now and go visit Antonella in her lovely tasting cellar. My wife and I literally called 15 min ahead and Antonella accommodated us without a blink of an eye. She was likely hard at work making her herb mixes or some other magical products, but dropped it all so we could taste the results of her family’s generations of know-how and experience. Antonella taught us about the wines and olive oil her family makes. She explained why each has a special name. She gave us suggestions for what to eat alongside her wines. She even gave us some of her amazing herb mix to sprinkle on our Tuscan bread soaked in her dark green, cold pressed olive oil. Yum!!! We highly recommend going to Podere San Pierino if you are at all in the San Casciano area. So worth while and most importantly to us as authentic/local as you can possibly expect. Thank you Antonella for your hospitality and welcoming us into your home. Such a special “find” for us. And for all you travelers, this will be a place you will want to share stories about to all your friends because they haven’t been here! Grazie Mille!!!

Amazing family vineyard! Great artisanal wines, olive oils and much much more! A must try, outside side of the wine tour crowds. You feel like in family.

It was a wonderful experiance. Good wine and nice host. We had the best time.

Visiting the family-owned winery was an unforgettable experience, set on a stunning 10 hectares of land surrounded by over 2,000 olive trees. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it feel like a home away from home. The food and drinks were simple yet delicious, with a homemade touch that elevated every bite and sip. Sharing the experience with my family in such a beautiful, tranquil setting made it all the more special. The combination of exceptional wine, olive oil, and the cozy ambiance created lasting memories that we'll cherish.
