One of the most modern and stylish wineries we visited in Tuscany! The architecture is absolutely stunning, with a futuristic design that continues throughout the interiors and wine-tasting areas. It’s definitely something different from the traditional wineries you usually see in Tuscany. We decided to stop at the restaurant without a reservation and had to wait about 45 minutes for a table. Since it was raining, we enjoyed a cappuccino outside while waiting. The service was good, the wine was lovely, the bread was incredibly fresh, and we enjoyed our food. One thing I discovered on our way out was the elevators! I wish I had explored them earlier because the views were absolutely beautiful. The entire building is an architectural experience, with so many interesting details to admire. Despite the rainy weather and the wait, we had a lovely experience. If you enjoy modern architecture, beautiful views, and good wine, this is definitely a unique place to visit while exploring Tuscany!

We really enjoyed our visit to Antinori, and the wines here are, without a doubt, impeccable. We would definitely visit again, but there were a few things that could have made the experience better. The venue itself is spectacular, but it wasn’t particularly accessible in the heat. There are two very large, winding driveways up to the venue with little to no shade, and the path is made up of small, widely spaced pavers. Anyone wearing anything other than flat, comfortable shoes would really struggle, particularly in hot weather. Our wine tasting was also a little underwhelming. The staff member hosting us didn’t seem particularly engaged or interested, and the experience felt somewhat like she was reading from a script rather than genuinely sharing her knowledge and passion for the wines. We expected a little more warmth and personality given the reputation of Antinori. That said, the on-site restaurant was phenomenal. The food was absolutely amazing, the wine selection was large and varied, and the staff were fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful with pairing recommendations. This was easily the standout part of our visit. Overall, the setting and wines are exceptional, and despite a few shortcomings, we would absolutely return. The restaurant alone is worth another visit.

We booked the tasting crou experience with included lunch at the Rinuccio restaurant and was fantastically executed. The guides are very professional and knowledgeable and will take you around a place that feels surreal, every aspect of the winery has an architectural armony difficult to find elsewhere, the tour was spent learning about conservation and processes leading to the making of the wine and then the tasting experience overlooking the barrels of aging wine was a wonderful touch. Highly suggested, side effects might include developing a taste for Tignanello which is served in the tasting and available for sale on the canteen

We stopped here during our drive through Tuscany, and it was well worth the visit. The architecture is absolutely stunning—very modern and beautifully designed. Walking up the dramatic spiral staircase and looking out over the vineyards was a memorable experience. After exploring the winery, we visited the wine bar for a tasting. We tried the Tignanello, the Rosato, and the Badia a Passignano, and every one of them was excellent. It was a wonderful opportunity to experience some of Antinori’s outstanding wines in such a beautiful setting. Whether you’re a wine lover or simply appreciate great architecture and scenery, this is a place not to miss. We would definitely return.

Antinori nel Chianti Classico is much more than a winery—it's an architectural masterpiece and a destination in itself. Seamlessly built into the Tuscan hillside, the winery beautifully blends modern design with the surrounding vineyards, making it easy to see why it was named the World's Best Vineyard in 2022 for its overall visitor experience and architecture. Even though we tried to book a wine tour nearly 20 days in advance, it was already sold out, so I would highly recommend reserving well ahead of your visit. Despite missing the tour, we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the property, browsing the impressive wine collection, and tasting a selection of wines at the on-site shop before purchasing our favorites. The restaurant, perched above the winery, offers stunning views of the vineyards and rolling Chianti landscape, making it the perfect place to relax and soak in the atmosphere. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or simply appreciate beautiful architecture and breathtaking scenery, Antinori nel Chianti Classico is a must-visit destination in Tuscany. An unforgettable experience that perfectly captures the elegance and heritage of the Chianti region.
