Wine tasting at Volognano Castle
Among the wineries in our area, it is certainly worth doing a tasting at the Volognano Castle, an ancient residence whose origins date back to the 11th century.
Located on a hill in a dominant position and surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, the castle offers various types of experiences.
If you then feel like traveling a few kilometres, entering the heart of Chianti you will find a myriad of tasting options, from small family-run wineries to the large labels of the castles scattered throughout the area. To help you orient yourself, we have divided some proposals based on their geographical position:
Gaiole in Chianti area: Badia a Coltibuono, Brolio Castle, Ama Castle and Meleto Castle
We've selected for you "A Taste of Tuscany: Wine and Olive Oil": available upon request, every day from Monday to Saturday for just €30.00 per person. You'll have the opportunity to visit the castle village and the winery. You'll be shown the various production techniques, followed by a tasting of four wines and extra virgin olive oil. Before purchasing the voucher, please contact the property at experience@volognano.com or call +39 055 8303125 to check the availability.
