Hi all,

We are considering visiting the Antinori at their Antinori nel Chianti Classico estate near Florence.

Has anybody done their tour + tasting there? If so, thoughts? Which “level”/version of the tour did you do?

Thanks!

If this is the modern one, I went about 5 years ago. The architecture is pretty stunning. The cellar is built into the side of the hill/mountain, so the temperature is constant without the need for A/C. They have an outdoor cafe that is a beautiful spot for lunch with a bottle of Tignanello on a nice day. It is obviously not quaint and the wine is generally available in the US but I thought it was worth the visit. It is an architectural showplace. I had an Italian brother-in-law who hooked us up and we were actually shown around by one of the architects, so I can’t comment on the level of the tastings . But you should get one that includes a tour.
