Private Winery Visit and tasting of Gagliole Wines

About this tour

Step into the cellars of Gagliole for a hands-on look at how their wines come together, from fermentation vessels to bottle. Over ninety minutes, your host walks you through the winemaking craft, then settles you into the tasting room with four estate wines—a white, two Chianti expressions, and their signature red—paired with house-made biscuits, cured meats, and their own olive oil. Designed for curious drinkers, not wine buffs alone.

Highlights

• Walk the working cellars and learn fermentation methods firsthand
• Taste four Gagliole wines across white and red styles
• Sample estate olive oil and local cantuccini biscuits
• Hear directly from the producer about their vineyard philosophy
• Relaxed tasting room setting, no pretence required

What to expect

You'll begin in the cellar itself, where barrels and tanks sit in cool stone. Your guide explains the vineyard-to-glass journey—soil, harvest timing, aging decisions—without jargon getting in the way. Expect to see the actual equipment and ask questions as they come up. After thirty minutes, you move to the tasting room. Four wines arrive with food: crisp white, approachable Chianti, aged Chianti Riserva, and the house flagship. You taste at your own pace, comparing notes with your guide and the other guests if you wish. Biscuits and preserved meats round out the hour.

Good to know

Flat, accessible cellars suit all fitness levels. Wear closed shoes for the cellar section. Book ahead, especially weekends. The tasting room is climate-controlled. Allow extra time if you wish to buy wine after.
