Who would have thought to find a brilliant delicious atmospheric restaurant in the middle of the Tuscany hills. This is the place. Our host Elie is extremely personable and knowledgeable and his wife (who we only briefly met as she spent most of the time in the kitchen) have founded an impressive place. Food was delicious. we sat outside in an atmospheric courtyard in the middle of a tiny village unexpectedly enjoying a delicious and exquisite meal. Be prepared to pay somewhat for the privilege but it was the highlight of our day. highly recommended

This place is magic. I have been wanting to go for several years to this jewel of a kosher restaurant in beautiful Tuscany. The owners are remarkable people who create some of the most amazing food I have tasted. They also partner as of recently for kosher hot breakfast at the nearby hotel.

My wife and I stayed in Tuscany and weren't sure if we really wanted to go to the winery, but it became one of the highlights of our trip.
It is located in a very beautiful part of the Chianti area in Tuscany, very authentic without too many tourists around.
Lara and Eli were very friendly and showed us the winery and the fields where they grow their vegetables. The food is farm-to-table, Lara makes authentic Italian food .and the very good wine they make in the winery perfectly accompanies the meals

It was with real excitement that we seized the opportunity to eat kosher for shabbath in Tuscany and given the review we were expecting a real treat (extravaganza as advertised on the website). Unfortunately that turned out to be the classical kosher food pitfall : extremely basic cooking for a largely overpriced rate of 55€ per meal per person.
Meat/Chicken/Salmon were just cooked, no flavor, nearly no seasoning.
No sides.
Salads were also very basic: sliced tomatoes, sliced cucumber, uncooked chickpeas...
The only decent part were the challah, cake and wine, but at that price you expect much more than that. The owner seemed very surprised since I made him aware that it seemed quite basic (even before tasting it actually) arguing all clients were happy.
Pass.

My wife and I, along with 2 other couples, had a unique and amazing time with Eli & Lara. We started the morning truffle hunting with dogs about 25 minutes away. Followed by making pasta in the dairy kitchen. Finishing up around 2pm with table service outside actually eating the pasta we all made by hand. Their wines are also delicious. We paid $150 euro per person for all the activities, including lunch.
Highly recommended for all kosher travelers for an authentic Italian meal. They have 2 kitchens, and alternate dairy and meat.

(Literally) the best food in town! We had such an unique experience with Eli and Lara. They are really turning this place into an amazing facility. Next time we go (which is a must), we are taking a cooking class with Lara because she is an amazing cook! The wine is very good too. Keep doing what your doing and I will be sure to tell all of my friends :)

We recently spent an afternoon at Cantina Giuliano during our honeymoon. Eli and Lara Gaultier have created a postcard winery experience that leaves you feeling like you've left the rat race of modern living far behind. After a tour of the winemaking facilities and small farm (which provided all of the ingredients for the meal that followed) we sat down to a sumptuous meal of antipasti, pasta and ice cream (all home made) paired with Eli's moreish wine. The setting is idyllic and the kindness and warmth from our hosts made us feel right at home. We highly recommend this as part of any trip to Tuscany.

Thank you to Eli and Lara for not only delicious food (I’m still dreaming of the fried zucchini blossoms) but also for helping us set up an array of amazing activities. Is there any better way to experience the Tuscan countryside than through a tour (and tasting!) Of their winery, a boat tour of Ebla island accompanied by an onboard 4 course meal cooked by a personal chef, a morning truffle hunt, and a pasta making course? I think not- it was perfect.

Met Eli at the wine facility for our kosher wine tasting. He explained the process and took us through the production facility. Eli was a blast - so honest about what it takes to make kosher wines and to be in the industry. Tasted his wines and bought several bottles. Tours are by appointment only (11am or 5pm Sunday through Thursday) - April to November.

My wife and I just finished a short (2 night) stay at Eli and Lara’s place in a rustic Tuscan village. The accommodations were lovely and the food and wine a rare experience for kosher travelers. The restaurant alternates daily between meat and dairy service, so we were able to sample both. Both dinners were excellent- as were the wines. A couple of standouts- the pasta with beef and tomatoes and the pasta with tuna were definitely the best pasta dishes I have ever tasted.
Finally, I can’t say enough about Eli and Lara and their incredible hospitality. We hope to be back again in the near future.

Hi I am planning a trip to italy November 22-24 will be in Milan then we were going to venice for Shabbat.Then we were going to drive south towards Florence. We have been to Florence before but not to Tuscany we love wines etc. The winery also has kosher food? What else would you suggest in that area? I saw on the website something about a kosher apartment do you know anything about that?
Written October 30, 2016
Hi Bobby!
We d be happy to jave you at the winery, all the food is kosher and home-made from the pasta to the cheese and the vegetables all come from our garden. We do have a small appartment that we rent out, simple but functional as we are centrally located for day trips around the countryside.
If you want more details or tips, just write me an email.
Also, just to let you know that we're closing from the 1st of december. And if you re interested, on sunday 27th we're doing a full day with two couples that we re picking up in Florence with pasta making class, visit of the oil press and olive oil tasting with a halavi lunch and bassari dinner. You could come along if you want 😊👋.
Hope to hear from you
Eli
