Tuscany: BANFI CASTLE
The Castello di Banfi is not just a winery, but an entire village in the Sienese hills, home of Brunello di Montalcino . There are two visit proposals, one more "light" (visit to Balsameria, vineyards, cellar and tasting) and one that combines the previous proposal with a tasting menu at the La Taverna restaurant. And if you want, combine a stay at the hotel to enjoy the evening. All the details on www.castellobanfiilborgo.it
