The castle has a historical significance in relation to the visits of several famous personalities like King Charles VIII of France and Pier Capponi of Florence. Visitors enrolled to this wine tasting course can be a part of the historical castle and explore its wine cellars and magnificent vineyards. The course will help you appreciate Italian DOCG wines. The four hour course in English will be conducted by a professional wine taster.

The participants can take home a wine tasting kit and can also enjoy a visit to the wine cellars and vineyards.
