Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Azienda Agricola La Lastra, Strada della Befana 2/A, 53100, Siena Italy

In a very simple way, directly in the vineyards, we will talk about the agronomic cycle of our organic grapes with the help of genetics, physiology, ecology, pruning, handling of the soil and harvesting.

Duration: 50 minutes

Stop At: Azienda Agricola La Lastra, Strada della Befana 2/A, 53100, Siena Italy

In the cellar we will take into consideration the basic concepts for a quality wine making, analyzing the chemical, physical and microbiological details of our wines, during all the main steps of the process from grape to wine: stemming-crushing, alcoholic fermentation, maceration, malolatic fermentation, racking off, stabilizing, bottling and refinement.

Duration: 40 minutes

Stop At: Azienda Agricola La Lastra, Strada della Befana 2/A, 53100, Siena Italy

In our equipped tasting room we will taste 4 of our organic wines, all typical of the area, in order to understand all the sensorial notes with the help of our eyes, nose and palate. A triumph of perceptions to exalt what we love most about wine: the complex world of emotions.

Duration: 40 minutes

Stop At: Azienda Agricola La Lastra, Strada della Befana 2/A, 53100, Siena Italy

The tasting will end up with a “light-lunch” combining wine and food. We will offer seasonal menus in order to satisfy the palate and keep a health body, combining food with one of our wines and with our organic extra-virgin olive oil.

    I would give 10 stars if I could for this beautiful wine tour! Renato Spanu is the owner/wine and olive oil maker. He does the tour and you learn so much about the region and process. The wines and olive oil were wonderful! They served us an amazing lunch!! You absolutely want to go to La Lastra!!!

    Very enjoyable and informative wine tour! We loved the tasting and the lunch was amazing - some of the best food we had on our trip to Italy. Even in the off-season (early March), the property is beautiful. They also have great olive oil that we bought a bottle of in addition to wine. Short drive from Siena which was very convenient. Highly recommend!!

    Great way to spend the afternoon in Siena. The venue was a 15 minute taxi ride from our hotel in the old city and it's surprising how close the country side is to town. The winery is old and very well maintained, so walking through the archway entrance was like going backwards in time. We had a nice tour of the cellar and the vineyard and lots of details about the running of this organic winery. Our host had excellent knowledge of wine making and the wine we tasted. All 4 wines were very good and so was the light lunch that the winery provided. If you can only afford a half day, this is an excellent choice. Keep in mind that unless you have a car you will need to take a taxi to and from your accommodation.

    The staff/owners are so incredibly accommodating and informative, and they made the whole experience incredible. I learned so much about the process of making wine and olive oil from start to finish, as well as the environmental challenges that the vineyards must endure. Moreover, the food was delicious and the wine was certainly the best I have ever had (and I live in Spain!). I would buy their entire stock if I could. I highly recommend this tour. It is so much more intimate and informative than any other wine tour you will experience.
