Wonderful experience!
The wine tasting was super good and several wines came home with us.
Susanna di Grassi + family are super lovely and a heartfelt recommendation. The winery is currently run by the eleventh generation.
A beautiful experience
Excellent food, paired with the wines.
Definitely a beautiful experience immersed in the Tuscan hills that gives you a wonderful memory.
I absolutely recommend it.
Malvina is TOP!
It would be very nice to take a tour of the property to see the vineyards and more.
A wonderful experience
The Castello di Lamole, perfectly restored, speaks of stories of sweat and love for the land, uninterrupted for generations; today it's Susanna's turn, who, while sipping the excellent wine produced by her company, tells you all about the life of the place with interesting and fun details.
The class is simple (most of us are beginners at the stove, we had asked for it to be so) and offers recipes that can be repeated once back home.
Alessia, the chef-instructor, is clear, attentive, and patient, and she radiates genuineness and warmth.
We spent almost 6 hours with them, having for dinner what we had cooked and tasting pretty much the entire production, from the fresh rosé, moving on to the Chianti Classico, and finishing with the Riservas.
10 out of 10 with honors.
