Arriving at the farm we were immediately greeted by peacocks, peahens and the babies, ducks, roosters and chickens, a cat, a dog, fabulous views, perfectly ripe sangiovese grapes, a storybook ancient home, countless olive trees, rosemary bushes everywhere, and, of course, our wonderful host, Silvano! His life history is so interesting (a formet veterinarian), and he absolutely LOVES his life now producing fabulous organic wines, olive oil, honey, truffle oil, balsamic vinegar, etc. He and his wife live in a very beautiful part of Chianti (I'm not sure there is any part of Chianti that isn't beautiful, but this was exceptional!). We were a small group of 8 people and were treated to his tour of the grounds and a spectacular lunch, complete with a tasting of all the wines produced on this property, honey from his hives, truffle oil, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. It was one of the best highlights of our entire trip to Italy!

We visited in September. 2023 . This is a beautiful and outstanding farm and winery. We had a wonderful lunch prepared by the wife (owner) preceded by a tour of the property and the cellars by the owner.Silvano. He is a former veterinarian who bought this property from the Catholic Church 30 years ago. He.was very knowledgeable and friendly. The owner’s son, Ricardo did our wine tasting during our lunch. He was very knowledgeable and fun as well. The lunch was outstanding. The wines were wonderful. The balsamic was remarkable .We shipped some of both home.. Highly recommend this for a great authentic experience.

Our tour guide brought us here and are we glad he did. A welcoming host took us through how he produces his sulphate free wine, aged balsamic, olive oil honey and lavender it was clear the production was based in love as well as commerce. Then we were treated to a fantastic lunch paired with their amazing products including white truffle. Don’t miss this experience you will never forget it!

My husband, son (21) and I went to Tenuta Casanova today and had the absolute best experience. The owner, Silvano, gave us a short tour of the vineyard and where the balsamic is aged. Then we had a home cooked lunch - made by his wife - while we tasted five different wines. The food was unbelievable and the wines were fantastic. We have been to Sonoma and Napa in California and this wine tasting and food paring blew those visits out of the water. We wanted to do a cooking class but it wasn’t offered, as it’s the winter. But we didn’t miss out because the lunch and wine pairing was so spectacular. This is a MUST do if visiting Florence or any of the surrounding towns in Tuscany.

The wine and food were incredible. We learned a lot about the history of the vineyard and Leda was very nice and friendly. She did a great job explaining the foods and flavors we were enjoying. If you can find time to make the trip I highly recommend.

This winery is spectacular and should be a 1st stop for anyone traveling through Tuscany. The lunch and wine were amazing as well as the tour of the property but the owners, Silvano and Rita and their son, are what really make it special. Make sure to make reservations to visit this winery and have lunch.

The most beautiful winery and farm in Tuscany. My family of 4 including 2 teenagers enjoyed learning about this beautiful family run farm and the delicious olive oil, balsamic and wine produced here. Everyone was warm and welcoming - like having Sunday lunch with your familia. Grazie!

Fantastic! Everything we had from the wine to the balsamic to the food was beyond excellent. The owners and staff are so lovely. They had the most adorable baby peacocks when we visited as well. Definitely add this to your Chianti itinerary, you won’t regret it.

The location is stunning, the farm beautiful, the cooking class was so much fun! The food turned out amazing and I cannot thank Ricardo and his Mom Rita for the fun and learnings. To Rita’s husband, the delight in learning the history of the farm and I can see the passion you all share for it. What a treat to learn and enjoy your space and our new friends from Australia who were in our class❤️ What an amazing experience ❤️ #chefskiss

Wow does not describe the wonderful experience my husband and I had at Tenuta Casanova. Riccardo and his Mother Rita were exceptional hosts, considerate and fun! We had a cooking class followed by the farm tour and the lunch which we prepared in the morning. All tastings and wine experiences were amazing and delicious. Highly recommend visit to Tenuta Casanova and very very grateful we discovered them!
