I have visited Castello di Volpaia following the reviews from tripadvisor and booked in advance the tour with wine tasting. I must say I was a little disapointed. I was hoping to have learned more about the local history, and seen more of the castle itself. Also I think the tasting could have been more explanatory. It took us more... More

Beautiful borgo village between Panzano and Radda in Chianti. Wonderful vinegars! Try to dirt road from Panzano or to Panzano across the hill for a different view of the local hills.

We just returned from a great Italian getaway during which we stayed in Tuscany for about a week. 5 of us pre-booked the tour with Castello di Volpaia which was well worth it. The small hill village is beautiful and lunch at La Bottega with the view is not to be missed but the most important part of the experience... More

The town is nothing special, after seeing many other castles and walled towns throughout Tuscany (but still worth a look -- very old). But the experience of lunch on the terrace of La Bottega is not to be missed.

Six years ago our group of 10 visited the Castello Di Volpaia cooking class while staying at Castello Di Casole and has a great time cooking a lunch we had prepared. We returned again for a dinner class and dinner with our host Giovannella. The class was fun and the dinner with Giovannella and the stories we shared were great.... More

Lovely tiny hill town which is now a winery. Fabulous views and wine tastings. Up a rather windy road, but a well paved one.

We visited Volpaia on a wine tour of Chianti Classico. We took lunch at La Bottega in the centro storico and everyone of us thoroughly enjoyed the fabulous cuisine and wines. For those who are into historical sites then this is the place for you. Also a very peaceful place too where you can sit back and enjoy a glass... More

This winery is in the hills of Chianti and it is extremely beautiful. It has two great restaurants, a tasting facility and has its own beautiful church and is essentially a Castle. There are guest rooms for rent as well. It would be a beautiful place for a wedding. The wines were great and we did a lot of tasting... More

My wife and I had one of our best days on our honeymoon at giovenella's cooking class. We were with another couple and spent a good four hours with our impeccable host. Cooked several beautiful dishes and got a real insight into the history of volpaia. Great tour of the winery and olive oil production too...but the food, wine and... More

My wife and I, along with good friends, recently enjoyed a late afternoon Tour at the Castello di Volpaia, lead by a knowledgeable and very sweet young Lady, Alessandra. It's a "must see" if you anywhere near Radda or Siena. Perched on top of a beautiful hilltop just a short drive from Radda, it's a wonderful experience learning about their... More
