Six wines, served in three series
The core of the experience is a structured tasting: six different wines presented in three series, each briefly introduced by an expert so you can compare styles and production choices over the course of the session.
Tasting room or terrace
The tasting is offered at a table either in the winery’s tasting room or on the terrace—both options let you focus on the wine, with the terrace adding a sense of place in the Tuscan landscape when weather permits.
Opportunity to purchase
After the tasting there is the possibility to buy wines on site, letting you take home bottles of the wines you preferred during the guided flight.
What the day feels like
What it feels like
The tasting moves at a deliberate, compact pace: over roughly 45 minutes an expert pours six wines in three series, introduces each line, and gives you time to taste and consider each pour. The format is intentionally focused—designed for visitors who want a deep sip rather than a long cellar walkthrough—so expect clear, guided tasting notes and the option to linger briefly at the end to select bottles for purchase.
