Together with your guide, you will stroll through the picturesque vineyards before entering the estate to indulge in a tasting of some of Tuscany's finest wines.

Inside, you will learn about the fascinating history of this 15th-century structure, which was once the residence of one of Siena's most influential families. As we delve into its past, you will have the opportunity to tour the barrel room, where secrets of the local wine production are revealed.
