The two-hour tasting session offers an opportunity to sample premium wines directly from a family-run operation. The organic nature of the estate ensures a unique tasting experience that emphasizes authenticity and craftsmanship, though tastings are paid on-site (roughly $25-$35 per person).

Panzano in Chianti and Its Enchanting Views

A brief 30-minute stop at Panzano transports visitors back to the Middle Ages with its 11th-century tower and fortified walls. This picturesque village offers sweeping views of the southern valley, filled with rows of Sangiovese vines.

Visitors can soak in the historic charm and snap photos of the landscape, making it an ideal spot for a quick but memorable visit before the afternoon’s main activity.
