Castle tour with Light Lunch & Wine tasting at Castello di Meleto in Chianti

Your experience at Castello di Meleto begins with a guided tour led by an expert sommelier. You will walk through the estate's vineyards and Aromatic Garden, stopping at the Big Bench, a large installation with a scenic view of the surrounding landscape.

The visit continues inside the castle, where you'll explore the noble rooms, the 18th-century theatre, the historic cellars, and the Vinsantaia, the room where Vin Santo is aged. 

After the tour, you will take a seat in the wine shop's tasting area. Here, you will taste three of the estate's red wines: a Chianti Classico, a Chianti Classico Riserva, and a Gran Selezione. The tasting is paired with a light lunch featuring a seasonal Tuscan first course, such as Pappa al Pomodoro, Panzanella, or a homemade pasta, and a board of local Senese cold cuts like capocollo, prosciutto crudo, and salame, served with bruschetta and Castello di Meleto's own olive oil.

You can also choose to add a guided tasting of Vin Santo paired with local pecorino cheese. Children are welcome and will be offered fruit juice; they can share the food served at the table.
