Il Castello di Verrazzano, situato tra Firenze e Siena nel territorio di Greve in Chianti, è un'antica dimora storica con una torre tardo-romanica e giardini rinascimentali che offrono una vista panoramica sulla Val di Greve.

I'm not sure where to start because this place was so special that after my first visit, the experience was so fantastico that my wife and I returned the following day for round 2!!
Sara, Lorenzo and all of the staff were so amazing and friendly. Tucked away in the Tuscan mountains about 40 minutes south of Florence, we discovered this special winery in the middle of Chianti country and we learned so much.  We learned about the history of Verrazzano, how it ties to one of the first North American explorers of the Renaissance period and even has one of New York's bridges in his namesake.
We learned about the various production methods and how the Toscana people are completely connected with the natural environment around their region.  From wine, to honey, to olive oil, they produce their products with passion, quality and full respect for the environment.
Be prepared to drink LoL.....the tastings are very "educational" because as you try the various wines they will explain the soil and environmental conditions that allow for each specific wine.
All these beautiful varieties of Chianti and Super Tuscan are paired with mouth watering food that will make this a core memory for any visitors.  There is a gift shop at reception where you can take some of this goodness home with you.  If I could rate this experience at Castello di Verrazzano at higher than a 5 star rating I would totally do it.  Enjoy the fantastic experience form yourself and I would suggest you do the full tasting wine tour.  You will need a solid 3 - 4 hours for.the full experience.  Thanks you for the great memories 👏👏🥂🥂

My husband and I did the wine tasting/lunch experience and it was great! Started with a tour of the property and information on how the wine and balsamic vinegar are made. For lunch, they were great with accommodating us as vegetarians and gave us more than enough to choose from at every course (come hungry, it’s a massive amount of food!). Would definitely recommend as a nice way to learn more about winemaking in the region and to enjoy a nice lunch and wine experience!

A gorgeous vineyard and castle. We enjoyed the full wine tasting experience and castle tour here. The tour guide Daniel was very knowledgeable. The castle is beautiful and the wines were excellent. This vineyard is a little busier so book ahead and expect quite a few guests

We visited Castello di Verrazzano as a group of 12 people for the wine tasting and dinner experience. Unfortunately, when the reservation was made, the tour was accidentally booked in Italian instead of English. We asked if anything could be done so the guide could speak in English or help the group understand better, but unfortunately it was not possible.

Most of us could not understand the explanations during the tour, and everything felt quite rushed because of the language barrier. This really affected the overall experience and made it difficult to fully enjoy and appreciate the tasting and the history of the place.

That being said, the food was good and the wines were excellent — definitely the highlight of the evening. The location itself is also beautiful. We just wish the experience had been more accommodating and enjoyable for international guests.

Of all the wine tastings during our 19 day trip, this was probably the best. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative. The owner was in the grounds as Netflix was there filming a documentary about Giovanni da Verrazzano, the first European to discover the eastern United States and has the Verrazzano Narrows bridge named after him. The wines were very good and the food pairings were excellent, including the sweet dessert wine and grappa after the 4 Chianti wines.
