Private Grape stomping at Chianti Farmhouse
Description
Harvest has always been seen as a time of celebration in the countryside: after months of hard work and sacrifices, all those efforts are finally rewarded with the ripening of the grapes and the exciting moment of winemaking. Before mechanization, harvests were carried out by entire families, who would press the grapes with their bare feet inside large wooden vats. This gentle, traditional method was highly valued, as foot-pressing does not stress the grapes. This tour is highly recommended for those who want to enjoy a unique experience while discovering the true essence of life in the Tuscan countryside. A visit to a winery with wine tasting is included; depending on the season, guests can pick grapes or press grapes provided by us. Discover these amazing ancient traditions and create a genuine, high-quality product. The meeting point is at our office in Castellina in Chianti.

That’s a such a great time and a really nice Tour Guide. The food was incredible at the winery and we learned so much. I had so many questions and she was very patient and was able to answer everything.

Fantastic tour! Amazing experience. So rustic and everyone so genuine. Chiara was so lovely. Highly recommend this tour. So sad our taxes are so high for importing. X

Loved the tour of the winery, the food was amazing, and the grape stomping was a fun touch! The private tour setting was also very nice for experiencing the farm and town of Castellina in Chianti
Buongiorno, Thank you so much for taking the time to write this great review! We are so pleased know you enjoyed you day with us and really hope to see you again soon.
This is an amazing experience and one that you must do. Made all the more special thanks to the hosts and guide with their fountain of knowledge and overwhelming friendliness and kindness. Francesca, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic straight from the start. So friendly and warm she made us feel extremely welcome and special, we learned so much from her and she helped make this such a memorable experience that we will never forget. The vineyard itself is just magical, words can not do it justice, you must go and experience this for yourself it is worth every penny I promise you. We would like to especially thank the Piaggia family for welcoming us into their home for a small taste of paradise. The food, the view, and the atmosphere is just on another level to anything we've ever experienced before, and we can't thank Francesca and the Piaggia family enough for making this possible and for exceeding all the expectations that we had. My wife has always wanted to experience grape stomping in a traditional setting and it did not fail to impress at all. We feel so privileged to have been able to visit and learn about the Piaggia family history and what they do for the local area, the wine's not bad either :) If you are considering booking an experience like this then there can be no better place to go than in the hills of Tuscany on a sunny day at La Piaggia. Memories you will cherish forever will be made here. After the tour there are also other places within walkin distance to explore so you can make this a full day of happiness. Plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafes, as well as stunning views surround this area. Thank you once again to Francesca, and the Piaggia family for making this so special, we will cherish the time we spent here forever.
Such an amazing experience! To be on lands that have produced olives and grapes for many many years along with hearing the family’s story on how it came to be was so fascinating. Learned so much about the extra virgin oil and wine processing without using mass production machinery was incredible. This tour was the highlight of our vacation! Our tour guide Jessica was just an absolute delight! She truly made this adventure so much fun! Oh and the grape stomping was hilariously fun!
Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and so nice! Took us to more than grape stomping and our lunch was beyond amazing!!! Thank you so much!!
Buongiorno and thank you for your review! We are so pleased to know you enjoyed your experience with us and hope to see you again in the future. Best regards
Lots of fun. Our guide, Phillipo, was super flexible matching the tour to our likes and needs. Grape stomping was fun, but the meal was excellent and prepared in a rustic environment.
This tour was a surprise from my husband on our honeymoon and absolutely could not have been better! Chiare was so knowledgeable, sweet, and fun and truly made this an experience of a lifetime for us! We traveled to Castellina in the Greve in Chianti and then to La Piaggia to experience half a day of touring the 100 year old grounds, grape stomping, lunch, and wine tasting. If you are in the Chianti region and looking for the best tour (and guide), this is where you need to book! Thank you Chiare! Absolutely amazing! Saluti!
Buongiorno Daniel_M, we are so pleased to know you enjoyed your tour so much and we are sure Chiara had a great role on it! Hope we will arrange another activity in you favor during your next visit in Tuscany!
Gabriele was a phenomenal guide! What an amazing experience! The food was AMAZING and the hospitality was like no other! 10/10 I recommend!
