Chianti: Brunello Wine Tasting & Tuscan Lunch

Straight off the road into Brunello and lunch at a Chianti winery

Vegetarian and dietary accommodations are available if you request them at booking.

Brunello wine tasting and Tuscan lunch

• Taste Brunello wines at barrels
• Enjoy traditional three-course Tuscan lunch

The experience

You pull up to Winery Colsereno and the gravel crunches under your feet. The vineyard spreads out in front of you: rows of vines running down the slope, and the Tuscan hills beyond them, the kind of view that makes you understand why people come here. Before the tasting even starts, you're already walking through the organic vineyard, and your guide is pointing out how the vines are planted, what the soil does, the whole setup that makes Brunello different from what you've drunk before. It's not a lecture. It's the thing you're standing in the middle of.

Then you're down at the barrels. The winery is cool and quiet, and you taste two wines directly from the barrel. That's the part that sticks with you, because it's not the polished version you'd get in a shop. Your guide talks through what you're tasting, the tannins, the age, how long these sit before they're bottled. And then lunch arrives: cured meats and cheeses first, then handmade pasta with sauce that tastes like someone spent hours on it, then dessert. The wines you just tasted come with the meal, so you're not guessing what pairs. You already know. If you need vegetarian, they've got that sorted before you arrive. Same with gluten-free or vegan, you just flag it when you book.

The whole thing is three courses and two wines, and you're not rushed through it. You sit, you eat, you look out at the landscape. It's the kind of afternoon where time moves differently, not slow exactly, just less urgent. By the time you leave, you've walked the vineyard, tasted Brunello at the source, and eaten lunch that tastes like it belongs there. That's the Chianti wine tasting experience at Colsereno.
