Vicchiomaggio Castle

Our group stopped in as part of a tour. The staff was wonderful. The castle and history are wonderful. We had an amazing tasting of the products of this incredible place. The pasta was great, the sausage was fantastic. We tasted the wine from the rose through the grappa — all produced on site and all of superior quality.

This was a beautiful castle. My family of 5, with 3 rooms all stayed in the newer part of the castle, and we were all very happy. We woke up to a stunning view of the Tuscan hills and one morning there was a deer roaming the vineyards.
The stay began with wine tasting with Ines, who made us all feel very welcome, and one night we had a pasta making class with Delfina. Now we are pasta making experts (haha). For dinner that night we ate the pasta we made, and a good time was had by all.
The location is great, as long as you have a car, and it’s just about 5 minutes from Greve in Chianti, a charming town. We were there in the spring and it was very quiet and peaceful. It may be busier in the summer.

Beautiful castle overlooking the greve valley. You can taste the wine in the typicall tasting room with Ines ora Nadia. Good food served in the restaurant.
