Winery in Tuscany

Tucked into a 15th-century estate between Florence and Siena, this osteria occupies an old olive mill with original stone walls and a cozy fireplace. They make their own pasta, grow their own olives for oil, and produce wine from surrounding vineyards. Summer means dining on the terrace with sweeping valley views, while winter brings crackling fires and hearty Tuscan comfort food. Worth the scenic 30-minute drive from Florence.

A architectural stunner spiraling into the hillside, where 600 years of winemaking dynasty meets cutting-edge design. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame endless vineyards while you sip legendary Super Tuscans. The bistecca alla fiorentina is perfection—massive, charred, and sourced from prized Chianina cattle. The cellar tour descends through centuries of wine history in a space worthy of MoMA. Yes, it's a splurge, but watching sunset from the panoramic terrace while tasting liquid heritage? That's once-in-a-lifetime Tuscany.

Family-run agriturismo where everything—wine, olive oil, vegetables—comes from their land. Dinner under string-lit olive trees features grandma's pasta recipes and estate-raised meats, no foam or fuss required. The infinity pool overlooks a valley so perfectly Tuscan it feels fake. Their house red punches way above its price, dogs roam freely, and somehow everyone extends their stay. This is the authentic Tuscany you've been Instagram-stalking—book before word spreads.Retry

The dynasty's Florence palazzo where rooftop Duomo views meet legendary Tignanello pours. This 15th-century stunner serves Tuscan classics—ribollita, peposo—sourced from family estates, executed flawlessly. The wine pairings showcase 26 generations of winemaking mastery. Downstairs, the cellar shop stocks rare vintages you won't find elsewhere. Perfect lunch between museums, though tough reservations reveal the secret's out. Splurge-worthy tasting menu that's basically drinking history.Retry
