Castello di Tornano Wine Relais

We travelled as 2 couples after a few days in Florence on our way to Sienna and included a one night stay in this intriguing castle vineyard and winery location. A fantastic addition to our Tuscan mini break especially having added a tasting menu with accompanying wines from their estate. Everything we experienced here was a delight; the castle and stunning scenery, the people, the food and, of course, the wine. We arrived to a warm welcome in time for our tasting and wine experience and were immediately shown to our rooms so that we could change for the lunch. A great and welcome touch as this was pre check-in time. Duccio, our host and a Sienna local, was very friendly and seemed as excited as us to guide us through the experience. His knowledge of wine and food was inspiring and his enthusiasm infectious. He made our visit feel so special - thank you 😊 The Tuscan dishes were superb and the castle's estate wines equally so. A great deal.of work on the vineyards has taken place in a few short years and the resulat already show and this vineyards products will only grow in status. We.enjoyed more wine into the evening as a local art group displayed their various works. How Tuscany was that! This is a must stop over between the 2 famous cities and we would urge you to take the opportunity to do so. Only a few tweaks needed in our view which we are happy to share but not significant to this review. We wish the English owners well in this fabulous venture.

We went to Castello di Tornano In September of 2023. Online, it looked beautiful, when we arrived we could see that it was a dream come true. We were married in the Chapel that was amazingly intimate and perfect for our attending family members. The plans had been set to have an outdoor reception, but the weather forecast called for significant rain and wind. Amazingly the staff worked diligently and arranged to have our reception held in the Tower! How they moved furniture and set up a beautiful and amazing dinner complete with table decorations of grape vines complete with delicious bunches of grapes attached, flowers, candles ... no detail was missed. Daniella, and Elena were phenomenal. Everything was perfect. We continued to stay on for a total of 9 days in the Castel Suite each staff member made our stay incredibly delightful. We fell in love with each and every one of them. We look forward to returning in the near future. I am sorry that upon my return to the US, life and work took hold and it is only now that I write this review. Thank you for making our dreams come true. Joseph and Mary Anne Duff

Beautiful wine resort. Drivable to vineyards and restaurants. Chianti region travel is challenging so dining close by are convenient.
