We visited Tenuta Guardastelle in May on the recommendation of our son and his partner who had visited a couple of years ago. It did not disappoint. We tasted 2 white wines and 2 reds which were accompanied by excellent cured meats and bruschetta that enhanced the flavours. Our host was Gaia, who was very knowledgeable about the estate, the wines and the area. The setting is wonderful with the backdrop of beautiful San Gimignagno. The weather was a little unpredictable so we ate inside however the room was delightful - typically Tuscan. All in all a great experience that I would highly recommend. We left with a mixed case of red and white wine.
An amazing experience - from the moment we walked into the private setting for our lunch and wine tasting we all knew this would be a memorable event. The room was welcoming and the table impeccably set. We were hosted by Faust and his wife the owners of the agro tourism business. He was very knowledgeable and shared the history of the wine, the area and business they built. We were 10 people - 5 with special food requests. The meal was delicious! It was served flawlessly. Wonderful wine pairings. We all purchased items to remember the day we shared and our experience. We enjoyed the wine tour - a breathtaking view from all parts of the property. Later we discussed our favorite things about Italy - first the wonderful people, fabulous food and wine then the beauty of the country. Our day with Faust exceeded our expectations on all! Thank you so much for sharing this day with us. It was truly appreciated!!!
A true fairytale stay! From the moment we arrived, every view seemed even more spectacular than the last. The accommodations were exceptionally comfortable, creating the perfect place to relax and soak in the beauty surrounding us. The atmosphere was incredibly peaceful, making it easy to completely unwind. Each morning, we were treated to a lovely breakfast spread that was both delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Most of all, the hosts were genuinely warm, welcoming, and hospitable, making us feel right at home throughout our stay. The cooking class was a true highlight! The best we have taken! The lunch and wine tour were perfectly curated and an incredibly enjoyable experience! Just one warning: if you book a stay here, you may never want to leave! We can’t recommend it highly enough and hope to return someday. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very knowledgeable host with vast industry experience. Excellent tour of the facilities and explanation of both the wine and olive oil production. Very good lunch and generous tasting samples throughout. Highly recommended.

We just visited the winery with a group of eight. What a fantastic experience! The winery was absolutely beautiful and we had a beautiful room all to ourselves for a spectacular wine tasting and lunch. Boutique feel with great attention from Fausto, great view, great wine, and great food. You can’t ask for anything more for your Tuscan experience.
Dear "tkilmer777", Thank you so much for your wonderful words and kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your group enjoyed your visit, from the wines and food to the views and atmosphere.

We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable Tuscan experience! Kind regards, Aurora and the staff.
What an amazing experience! The grounds are beautiful, the wine was superb and the meal was delish. The only downside is it’s always away from the town so it’s a 2 ish mile walk one way. We were lucky to have a taxi back to town .
Dear Shari, Thank you very much for your kind review and support! We are happy to hear that you've enjoyed your experience and that we have matched your expectations! It is true that we’re a little ways from town, but that’s part of the charm! Being slightly tucked away allows us to offer a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, even during the busy season. It’s the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and truly take in the beauty of the surroundings. And I'm glad we could find a taxi for your way back. We’re so grateful you found us and hope to welcome you back soon! Kind regards, Aurora and the staff.
We had a lovely informative tour of the winery, with specific information on the area and wine verities. The lunch was perfect with local flavours of Italy matched with wines. A great afternoon and it’s the second time I’ve been on this tour.
