Walking through the vineyard, using simple and clear words, we will analyze agronomic techniques in relation to the biological cycle of the vine and techniques for the preservation and regeneration of rural resources.
In the cellar, we will discuss the fundamental principles of quality winemaking, at all the crucial stages of the grape-to-wine process: de-stemming-crushing, alcoholic fermentation, maceration, malolactic fermentation, racking, maturation, and ageing.
In the tasting room we will taste 5 of our fine organic wines. We will stimulate the senses to capture every subtle olfactory-gustatory note of our products. A symphony of emotions that only great wines can give. To delight your palate and nourish your soul, each glass of wine will be paired with a seasonal product and our valuable Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Picture yourself in the heart of the Tuscany wine world and with this tour, you are there. Learned about how the grapes are nurtured in the vineyard, how they are processed in the cellar and most importantly how they can be enjoyed (5 tastings) when paired with great fresh food.
A great wine tour and wine tasting! You get a nice tour with lots of information. A welcoming man with a lot of energy and humor. The lunch with 6 different wines was delicious! Highly recommended🍇🍷

The wine tasting was an incredible experience, the highlight of our trip to Siena. The tour guide was excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. They were very generous with the wine and food, and accommodating for vegetarians. Would strongly recommend for all!
Very nice wine tasting with food that both suited wines and locally based. The guide was exemplary and told interesting things about the vineyard, the production and the wines as such.
Excellent, my daughter and i would highly recommend La Lastra! Very welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and humorous! We met with both Lorenzo & John Luigi and they are a great team! The facility/grounds were gorgeous. The lovely family served our delicious homemade pasta lunch with homegrown vegetables from their garden followed by a homemade dessert! We also appreciated that their vineyard and vegetable garden are all organic! And last but not least, their wine is delicious! And this experience is only a 45 minute walk from Sienas city centre! A great experience overall. Cheers, Cin Cin, Salute!

A relaxed yet very informative and cool tour. The wines are very interesting, and combined with the food, it is an experience. A great guide and very friendly owners. We had a fantastic time!
Great experience with a funny down to earth guide who shared the best and not so great aspects of wine and olive oil growing and harvesting. The wine tasting was very enjoyable and the food was very good. I would highly recommend this wine tasting to anyone interested in learning more about Italian wines.
