I had a wonderful experience at the wine store. I did not stay at the hotel but had a great experience with Andrea who guided through his wine list and brought me to the tasting room. He was informative, inquisitive and not pushy at all. I ended up buying some Chianti Classico G. S. Some Brunello and some vin santo. Great times!

My daughter and I did a wine tasting. It was fascinating sitting in the old Roman aqueduct, now a wine cellar. Rita was our guide. She spent a lot of time explaining the wines, and helping us all to enjoy them better. The wines were great, as was Rita. Fabulous experience. If you are looking to create great memories, here’s a great place to spend an hour.
