Historic Castle Courtyard & Cellar Tour with Wine Tasting at Castel Pietraio in Chianti
Here is what's in store for you
Your visit to Castel Pietraio begins in the open-air medieval courtyard, where you will be welcomed by the owner or a member of their family. They will guide you through the history of the castle, which dates back to the 11th century, and into the historic cellar. Here, 19th-century winemaking tools illustrate how wine was once produced and how those traditional practices have evolved with modern technology, while still preserving the authentic character of the estate's wines.
The experience concludes with a guided tasting. If the weather is good, the tasting is held on the panoramic terrace overlooking the Chianti hills; otherwise, it takes place inside the estate's Agribar. You will taste three wines: a Chardonnay, a Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG, and a Chianti Colli Senesi Riserva DOCG. You can also choose to add a platter of local products to your tasting, featuring prosciutto, capocollo, Finocchiona DOP, and both fresh and aged Pecorino di Pienza.

Fantastic visit and excellent wines
Everything was perfect
Great experience!
We then tasted three wines on the veranda. It was well-paced. We didn't feel rushed or delayed.
The only thing I might suggest is to offer some nibbles to pair with the wine. They did offer potato chips, but could amp that up a bit.
