Chianti wine tasting at Foresteria Villa Cerna is a journey inside the work that has given life to our labels for generations. Tours pass through vineyards, aging cellars, and wine shop tables, accompanied by sommeliers and estate winemakers who talk about the wines as passionately as they make them.
Each experience takes place in Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of Chianti Classico, and is designed to offer a personalized path of discovery for every level of experience, from the curious neophyte to the sommelier who wants to delve deeper into the territory’s most representative selections.
For those approaching the world of Chianti Classico for the first time, the Villa Cerna Tour is the ideal starting point. The tour starts from the vineyards surrounding the estate, passes through the winemaking cellar and the large barrel and barrique aging area, and concludes with a guided tasting of three representative house labels. A short, affordable and comprehensive formula perfect for couples, groups of friends and day visitors.
The Chianti Classico Tour deepens the visit by including an extra tasting and an overview of the types in the DOCG specification: Chianti Classico, Riserva and Gran Selezione. The Grand Tour Experience is the most popular intermediate tour: vineyards, winery, historical archives and comparative tasting of four wines, perfect for those who want to understand the differences in style and vintage within the same winery. Both tours last about an hour and a half and are available in Italian and English.
The Grand Cru Experience is dedicated to wine lovers who want to get in touch with our group’s most representative selections. The tasting focuses on high-profile labels such as Villa Rosa’s Grand Selection, accompanied by a narrative tour of the terroirs of Villa Cerna, Villa Rosa, Tenuta Alzatura and Val delle Rose. It is an experience designed for trained palates, sommeliers and collectors who wish to compare styles, vintages and aging potential.
For those who want to combine the wine experience with the pleasures of the table, the Restaurant Experience combines the tasting with a menu from our vineyard restaurant, with dishes designed specifically to enhance each glass. The Tasting Taste Tuscan Tradition, on the other hand, is the most gastronomically complete course: wines paired with Tuscan cured meats, aged pecorino cheese, classic crostini and house desserts. It is the ideal formula for those who want to learn about the area through a single concentrated experience.
All winery visits and tasting tours are booked online by choosing a date, time and number of participants. Duration varies from one hour up to three hours for the more structured experiences, and each tour is available in Italian and English.
