We enjoy of the meal and degustation of different wines, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The starter was really good with the intro of the tasting, I want to emphasise in staff’s attention, Mary, the waiter and Marco (the boy with glasses, I can’t remember well if it was his name, sorry). The main dish and the dessert was a little bit disappointing. Great experience, nice views, good vibes. Gracias!!!!
Thank you for your feedback! We are thrilled you enjoyed the starter, wine tasting, and the attentive service from Mary and our team member. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments! We appreciate your honest note about the main dish and dessert, as it helps us improve. We're glad the great views and vibes still made for a memorable experience. ¡Gracias! Warm regards, Lucia Customer Care
Cute, clean and modern set up with friendly staff and good wines, olive oils and balsamics. Sparkling, chiantis and sparkling by rose all good. My favorite was the super Tuscan. The white truffle olive oil and the spicy olive oil both were standouts. Nice experience!
Thank you so much! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed our modern setup and friendly staff. It’s wonderful that you loved our wines—especially the Super Tuscan—as well as our standout truffle and spicy olive oils! Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

This was a fantastic wine, olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting and experienced so many types! Chiara was the best at teaching us about everything and made it easy to send wine, etc. home. Thanks so much!!!!!
Valentino was amazing. This was the best wine tasting I’ve ever been too. Unfortunately, it’s been the only one and so I’m afraid that the US will never compare! Truly an amazing and educational experience with great food and a great view.
Thank you so much! We are incredibly honored to have been your first wine tasting and Valentino will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed the educational experience, the great food, and our views. We hope to welcome you back to Italy soon! Warm regards, The Team
It's super cute and nice vineyard. I really liked their white, rose and that golden looking wine(I forgot the name). We had the wine tasting experience with Ben, he was really nice kind and generous on providing wine 😂. Great Experience.
Thank you for such a sweet review! It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the tasting and our team's generous hospitality. We hope to welcome you back to our cute vineyard very soon! Warm regards, Lucia Customer Care
Alessandro is amazing and so knowledgeable. Friendly and funny to make you feel comfortable. Wine is amazing.
We had a WONDERFUL time at this tasting. It was private, we loved our host and had a great time with her. We did not plan to buy wine but the shipping costs were reasonable so we did! We went to this first after arriving in the Sienna area and it was a bit of a drive but we highly recommend this as a stop.
Well worth the stop for wine tasting. But be sure to try the 666 chilli 🌶 oil. Everyone was so nice and friendly would recommend this even if you don't love wine
We spent a beautiful afternoon with Leda tasting the delicious wines, oils and balsamico. We loved the Vermentino, the sparkling Chardonnay and the Donna Via Super Tuscan was amazing. Taking some home for sure. Gracie Leda, bravissimo!
Food and wine tasting were good. Nice place to do wine tasting and knowledgeable staff. Place is also nice and a bit rustic
