Tenuta Torciano Winery is unlike any winery I have ever been to, whether that be in Italy, France, or the USA. Truly a gem & a MUST VISIT if in Italy! The Wine, Oils, cuisine, experiences (tastings, cooking class, grape stomping, tours, etc) are EXCEPTIONAL, & the entire team @ Torciano are so welcoming you feel like you are part of the family!
Tenuta Torciano Winery is an unforgettable experience and was the highlight of our trip & we loved every moment of our time w/ them!
Also, we were lucky to have Matteo booked as our driver who was absolutely fantastic! He is fun, kind, professional, extremely knowledgeable about Wines & knowledge of Tuscany, & he informed us about Tenuta Torciano Wine School Private Event Tastings in the USA which we will definitely be booking!
If you are booking a trip to Italy or are already in Italy, Tenuta Torciano is a MUST VISIT - and dont forget to ask for Matteo too!
