My husband and I did a private tour and tasting and it was the highlight of our trip. We are avid wine drinkers and we've done many tours throughout the U.S. This place is special. The tour was amazing and the wine was delicious. I HIGHLY recommend doing the private tour where you get to do your tasting inside the family's dining room. We also visited Antinori in Chianti which won best winery in the world last year. Castello di Brolio far out-shined Antinori. And the restaurant set among the tall trees was a whole other fantastic experience. Service, setting and food were all top notch.

We stopped for lunch at the bar & had the meat & cheese platter which was lovely. We then decided to go up to the Castle, (it's a very steep climb in the heat!). We paid €7 each to visit the outside of the castle & Gardens which were lovely. Included in the price was a free sample of wine in the wine shop. Worth a visit

Visiting the castle will be among our fondest memories of Tuscany. We arrived in the late afternoon in search of wine tasting and were drawn to the castle above. Our garden tour ticket allowed us to visit the lovely grounds and stroll along the perimeter of the castle where the panoramic views of the region are stunning—like a painting. Rays of light were streaming through the clouds as thunder rumbled in the distance. Church bells rang in the distance. We had almost the whole grounds to ourselves. This is an authentic experience and even more photogenic as tourist spots such as San Gimignano, which was overrun with people. What a lovely surprise!

This was one of our favorite winery visits out of many. When booking a wine tour, I look for an unique experience. We have been to hundreds of wineries around the world and this is one of my favorite. This winery supplied a great adventure and tour! Stefano our guide, was so informative and fun. Salute Stefano! We enjoyed every minute with him. We did the “Prestige Tour” and I would do it ten more times! Ha! Wine was good and even the honey I bought on a whim! True gem!

Our last winery in Chianti, Brolio Castle and Ricasoli winery were a top highlight of our 2 week trip! We had a reservation for the Classic Tour in the morning which included a castle and grounds tour, a tour of the winery and a lovely tasting in a formal setting in a beautiful room. The parking was a little difficult in a small gravel lot when at the end of the tour of the castle we all took turns turning around to drive to the wine tasting building which had a large lot. The tour and history of the Castle and the winemaking were exceptional and we learned a lot. The views from the castle are stunning! The family chapel was intimate and beautiful where we even were able to walk down the stairs to the family crypt. You walk the castle grounds and ramparts and then get to enjoy the winery tour as well. After the castle tour with a wonderful tour guide, we drove to the winery tour building and wine tasting building (which were beside each other) and we had the same guide. The production is large here and very professional and yet the tour was personable. It was very interesting to see the behind-the-scenes for such a large winery. We then walked through the tasting room which was very crowded into a lovely, quiet, pre-set table of wine glasses and water ready for our tasting. We enjoyed our guided wine tasting experience very much and bought wines to ship home with very jolly ladies who also let us taste their delicious olive oils that could be shipped as well. A top experience we would highly recommend! So glad we didn’t miss it!
