Absolutely magical experience! We did the truffle hunting tour and it was spectacular. The staff was very kind and attentive, not to mention how incredible the food and wine were. We look forward to coming back - 10/10 recommend!
Our Forest Picnic experience at Tenuta Torciano was absolutely wonderful. The location was easy to find, with clear directions and convenient parking nearby. When we arrived, we were invited to relax for a few minutes before being warmly welcomed by Sara. She was incredibly kind, explained everything about the place, the available activities, and the local products in detail. Then she drove us by golf cart to our picnic spot by the river — a beautifully arranged and peaceful setting with chairs, tables, and even space to sit on the grass if you prefer. There, Pietrino took care of us throughout the entire experience. He was attentive, friendly, and always ready to help — even when we asked for coffee, he quickly brought it with a smile. The whole team was wonderful, and their warm hospitality made the day even more special. We were also lucky with the weather, which made the atmosphere perfect. It was a truly relaxing and romantic experience — highly recommended for any couple looking for a quiet afternoon surrounded by nature.
Deeply Disappointing and Entirely Inauthentic Our visit to Tenuta Torciano was one of the most disappointing experiences we had in Tuscany. What was described as a tour through vineyards and historic cellars turned out to be a staged, commercial setup designed purely for sales — not for sharing wine culture or passion. There was no real vineyard or cellar tour. Instead, we were taken on a brief 10-minute walk past a small “show” vineyard used for different tourist activities, followed by a presentation of packages and products. Everything felt scripted and centered around selling rather than storytelling or authenticity. The lunch and wine tasting were equally underwhelming: a single cheese, a few slices of salami, a small portion of lasagna, and two thin pieces of pork. The wines were accompanied by price lists placed right on the table, adding to the sense that this was more of a sales pitch than a genuine tasting. To make matters worse, the staff and owner were visibly tense and unprofessional, even arguing with one another in front of guests. The entire atmosphere felt uncomfortable and pressured. Adding to the discomfort, we noticed staff appearing unhappy and uneasy. Overall, this experience was the opposite of what one expects from Tuscany’s warm, family-run wineries. It lacked authenticity, respect, and hospitality. What could have been a memorable day in wine country turned into an unpleasant reminder of how commercial tourism can ruin the magic of a place.
Outstanding experience for wine tasting and food making. Chef Ricotta was marvelous and well informed. Helping us through each step of our pasta making. Mikela and Chiara we magnificent in all the wine pairing and tasting. You will find a beautiful winery full of beautiful people. A MUST see!!
We recently did the "Lunch in Winery with Tour." Overall our experience was great and would have garnered 5 stars except for two negatives, which I will describe below. First, the positives: 1. Advance email communication was great, especially in helping us set up transportation from Florence, which we did via train to and from Poggibonsi, with transport by the winery to and from Poggibonsi, which was timely, albeit a bit pricey at 60 euros for the short round trip. 2. Warmly greeted in a meeting area and quickly offered a glass of wine, very professional and high end feeling. 3. Excellent food and generous portions. 4. Fantastic wine, in abundance, with really nice selections. Negatives: 1. Tour: The website states the following "You’ll embark on a captivating tour through our lush vineyards and historic cellar rooms, where the enchanting aroma of aging barrels sets the stage for your visit." At best, this is a gross exaggeration if not downright untrue. The "tour" consisted of 5 - 10 minutes standing out in a grass area observing and learning about grape vines (soil conditions, type of grape, leaf structure, etc.). 2. Sales pitch: This might be a little unfair, given that it is a winery, but there was a clear sense they were trying to sell wine and wanted you to buy some, although definitely not high pressure at all, to their credit. As an fyi, we bought 5 bottles (4 red, one white) for shipment to our home in the US, mainly because the wine was delicious and super high quality. Note that their focus is on red wine.
