Lunch Time - Tasting & Tour of the Winery at Villa La Ripa

Enjoy a refined food and wine experience at Villa La Ripa, where vineyard exploration, cellar discovery, and Tuscan cuisine come together in an elegant yet relaxed setting.

The experience begins with a guided visit to Villa La Ripa’s vineyards and wine cellar, offering an in-depth introduction to the estate’s philosophy and winemaking approach. During the tour, you will learn how the characteristics of the land, combined with careful cellar work, shape the identity and style of the wines produced here. This first part of the visit provides a clear and engaging overview of the estate, from vine to bottle.

Following the tour, you will enjoy a guided tasting of 4 Villa La Ripa wines, selected to best represent the winery’s range and expression of the territory. The tasting is paired with a three-course lunch, served either indoors in the tasting room overlooking the cellar or outdoors in the peaceful courtyard, depending on the season and weather conditions. The indoor tasting room is fully air-conditioned, ensuring comfort throughout the experience.

The lunch menu is intentionally seasonal and subject to daily variations, reflecting the availability of fresh ingredients and the chef’s inspiration. Dishes may include traditional Tuscan specialties such as cured meats and cheeses, pasta dishes, or classic regional recipes like peposo or ribollita, followed by a dessert. However, the exact menu is not fixed and may change from day to day. For this reason, the specific dishes served are not listed in advance, to allow the kitchen full flexibility and to ensure the highest quality. Water and coffee are always included with the meal.

With a total duration of approximately 150 minutes, this experience is ideal for those seeking a complete and immersive Tuscan wine and food journey, combining guided vineyard and cellar visits, quality wine tasting, and authentic local cuisine in a welcoming countryside atmosphere.
