Wine tasting at Volognano Castle

Among the wineries in our area, it is certainly worth doing a tasting at the Volognano Castle, an ancient residence whose origins date back to the 11th century.
Located on a hill in a dominant position and surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, the castle offers various types of experiences.

The one we have selected for you is “A taste of Tuscany through wine and oil” every day from Monday to Friday at 11 a.m.  For only € 25.00 per person you will have the opportunity to visit the castle village and the cellar. The different production techniques will be illustrated before moving on to the tasting of four wines and extra virgin olive oil.  Before purchasing the voucher, please contact the property at taste@volognano.com or call +39 055 8303125 to check the availability.

If you then feel like traveling a few kilometres, entering the heart of Chianti you will find a myriad of tasting options, from small family-run wineries to the large labels of the castles scattered throughout the area.  To help you orient yourself, we have divided some proposals based on their geographical position:

Gaiole in Chianti area: Badia a Coltibuono, Brolio Castle, Ama Castle and Meleto Castle
Greve in Chianti area: Verrazzano Castle, Vicchiomaggio Castle and Querceto Castle
Radda in Chianti area: Volpaia Castle and Albola Castle
Castellina in Chianti area: Fonterutoli Castle

In addition to these wonderful ancient locations, we would like to point out an equally wonderful but very modern one: Antinori Chianti Classico.
Built in 2012, with its futuristic design but expertly integrated into the surrounding nature, it has acquired international fame in a very short time, so much so that in 2022 it was elected Best Winery in the world by World’s Best Vineyards magazine.
We don’t know if it really is the best in the world but it will certainly allow you to live a one-of-akind wine experience.
