Wine tasting was great - Interesting castle history although tour was short due to pouring rain. Wine tasting was great. The castle dog Nana was cute and got a lot of attention off everyone.

Beautiful grounds and wine - Lovely winery in beautiful grounds(1441 old castle) was a last minute decision as there is many options in the region but with more complex tastings, but this one was just right, winery itself is no older than 25 years but age doesn’t define this wine, our oenophile guide was a gentleman with perfect English, we were lucky as we were 3 and tour was quite exclusive ☺️, highly recommended!

A sparkling afternoon in the Tuscan countryside 🏰. - A wonderful experience, learning about the area, vineyards and wine production from this beautiful, historic castle. The views across the valley are breathtaking. The guide was knowledgeable and a good story teller, setting the castle in both a historical perspective and in the modern day. The wines are simply the best!

Enjoyable tasting experience - The tour guide and wines were excellent, and the property was beautiful. The Viator description, however, overstates a bit—we only overlooked the vineyard, the tour of the “castle” basically is outside only, and the food accompanying the wines were tasting crackers.

Great surroundings and information, but disappointing wine tasting with mini samples and crackers - A very informative half-hour tour in a great setting. Unfortunately, the tasting was very brief with a few crackers and only three wines, each with a volume of around 30-40ml.

Not bad - Overall i consider it average. Title rather misleading. No Vineyards tours. Nevertheless for the cost we have paid is OK
