There’s something about sipping a glass of estate wine on a sun-dappled terrace, surrounded by vineyards and the distant hills, that perfectly captures the romance and serenity of this historic estate.

Restaurants and Cafés

Tosca Ristorante

At the heart of the estate, Tosca Ristorante gives guests a choice – to dine indoors surrounded by exquisite Italian textiles and ancient stone walls, or enjoy the charming outdoor courtyard. The menu features simple yet high-quality local ingredients, creating dishes that are both innovative and pay homage to the traditions of the farm. Open to both residents and non-residents for dinner, Tuesday to Sunday.

Castello Grill

Castello Grill is the spot for lunch with a side of valley views. Watch and interact with the chef who cooks meats, pizza and pasta in the outdoor kitchen - complete with a new Officine Gullo charcoal grill. Open daily during summer months from midday to early evening.

Emporio Terrace

A panoramic terrace where guests can savour homemade pasta and locally sourced meat and fish daily, for lunch and dinner.

Emporio del Castello

Open all week for dinner in the low season, and for lunch and dinner in the high season, Emporio del Castello champions a traditional Tuscan and Italian menu – everything from small plates to pizzas baked in the old 17th-century wood-fired oven, grilled dishes, and tasty desserts.

Bar Visconti

Named for the illustrious Visconti family - the former owners of the castello - this bar overlooks the pool area, and is one of the best lounge bars in Italy to enjoy sunset over the hills. Open daily from midday to late night, with aperitifs served in the evening.
