Journeying to this Cellar is like stepping back in time. It embodies the bounty of the beautiful Tuscan soil - wine. This wine, deeply revered and cherished, was joyously drank and tended to with enthusiasm and resolve by our forebears, the Etruscans, several centuries before the Christian era.

Wonderful wine cellar tour - Incredible place. This is the coolest winery we’ve ever been to. It’s an amazing underground cellar built a thousand years ago. The wines themselves are wonderful and we bought several and had them shipped home. They’re that good. No high pressure sales or anything. The tour was worth every penny and we highly recommend it!

Super fun tour and fine wines - Super nice tour with excellent English-speaking guide, who came from The Hague and therefore also spoke fine Dutch. Nice story and clear explanation about the wines. You keep listening captivated. Definitely recommended.

Great wine with history - We had a great experience at the Di’Ricci Wine Cellar. The tour of the wine cave was fascinating—beautifully preserved and rich in history. The tasting that followed was relaxed and enjoyable, with a great selection of wines. We ended up buying a few bottles to take home, which says it all. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
