Pleasant experience

We were at Cantine Canaio and it was a truly pleasant experience.
Mirco welcomed us with great kindness and accompanied us on a tour of the cellars, explaining clearly how he works: you can immediately see that behind every choice there is care, attention, and above all, so much passion.
They produce few bottles and few wines, but the quality is very high: everything we tasted was focused, clean, and with a beautiful personality.
After the tour, we did the tasting, accompanied by appetizers and a first course: everything was delicious, well-chosen products, and more than satisfying portions.
I highly recommend the visit: it's one of those places where they don't just sell you wine, but they transmit a story and an enthusiasm that stays with you. Compliments to Mirco!

Wine experience at Cantina Canaio

We had such a lovely experience at the family owned Cantina Canaio! The winery is in a beautiful location. Photos simply cannot fully capture the picturesque countryside. We were so warmly welcomed upon our arrival. The wine tour was interesting and our guide was so informative and charming. The "light" lunch was fantastic and also quite filling and tasty! We enjoyed all the wines that we tasted and ordered some to ship home (and bought a couple bottles to take with us). We had a relaxing experience in such a tranquil setting. Highly recommend Cantina Canaio experence!

5 stars for Cantina Canaio

We visited the family run vineyard Cantina Canaio, between Cortona and Montepulciano for a wine tasting and lunch to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. What a fantastic event, it far exceeded our expectations.
Firstly we had the place to ourselves so we felt more like special guests rather than tourists. Marzia spoke excellent English and gave us a great background to the history of the vineyard and the renovations which the family have undertaken over the last 10 years or so. Then followed a tour of the winery and cellar and a description of the wine making process which was very informative and interesting.
After this we were shown into the dining room for the wine tasting and lunch. We had a 3 course meal which was described as a light lunch complete with descriptions of every course in Italian by the lovely and enthusiastic cook. Thank goodness Marzia could translate. The wines were all delicious and we each had different favourites - mine was the rosé. There is no pressure to buy any wines but we couldn’t resist stocking up with a few bottles to take back to our Villa.
What a great way to spend a few hours in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Can thoroughly recommend - you won’t be disappointed.
