Winemaker for a day at Castello Monterinaldi in Chianti Classico

Winemaker for a Day at Castello Monterinaldi is an exclusive and immersive experience that invites you to step behind the scenes of a working Tuscan winery and discover the art and science of winemaking. This unique opportunity will teach you how to taste wine like a professional, helping you identify its aromas, flavors, and textures, while understanding the story behind each bottle.

During the experience, you’ll become a winemaker for a day and craft your own personal blend. Guided by our experienced winemaker, you’ll taste a selection of our carefully chosen red wines and experiment with various combinations, learning how different grape varieties, proportions, and techniques influence the final character of the wine. Through this hands-on process, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation of Sangiovese and the nuances that make each vintage at Castello Monterinaldi truly special.

No wine is complete without its label, and in this experience, you’ll have the creative freedom to design your own. Once your personalized label is ready, we’ll print it for you, so you can take home a bottle that is truly one-of-a-kind—a perfect memento of your day as a winemaker.

The experience also includes a guided tour of the cellar, during which you’ll learn about our sustainable practices, the history of the estate, and the passion and dedication that go into producing every bottle of Castello Monterinaldi wine. By the end of the day, you’ll not only have created your own wine, but you’ll also leave with a richer understanding of the Chianti Classico region and the art of Italian winemaking.
