Boutique wine experience at the castle of Monteriggioni
Guided tasting at the Poggio ai Laghi wine shop inside the historic walls
In the heart of the square of Monteriggioni, inside the Poggio ai Laghi wine shop, an intimate and authentic experience comes to life, designed for those who wish to discover wine as a story, an expression of place and a pursuit of quality.
A small, welcoming space, with just a few tables indoors and outdoors, where time slows down and each tasting becomes a moment of listening and sharing.
You will be accompanied by a wine expert, who will guide you through the tasting of Poggio ai Laghi wines and products, weaving the experience together with the legend of Donna Ava and her maidens: symbolic figures who embody values, knowledge and deep ties to this land.
The experience is conceived as a journey that goes beyond the glass: a path through products, territory and storytelling, where each tasting finds its meaning in history, craftsmanship and the care that Poggio ai Laghi dedicates to every detail.
An invitation to sit down, listen and be guided through the story of a place that still lives today within the walls of Monteriggioni.
