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.

This was an absolute highlight of our trip. The castle is beautiful and incredibly well kept. The proprietor visited our table one morning, at the beautiful breakfast they offered, and gave us some fantastic history of the property and the upgrades she has made to the castle and the grounds. Nothing short of excellent!

A spectacular property. Amazing suite with balcony overlooking countryside. Great food. Beautiful pool. Cannot recommend enough.
