I did this experience with my girlfriend and a couple of friends. We were really satisfied. The four wines were delicious. And the charming location only made everything better. I highly recommend it!
Edoardo
We appreciated the courtesy and knowledge of the staff who guided us through our experience. The wines and their pairings were much appreciated. Recommended.
Giulio
The tasting experience was wonderful and just what we were looking for. The wines are delicious and paired well with the cheese platter. The tasting of the 4 wines was well paced and we never felt rushed. We ended up buying some bottles and some of their honey. The property is beautiful. Would definitely recommend.

We loved this place. The area was beautiful and our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The wine was also great.
Larae
The staff were tremendous and the tasting is in a magical setting inside the barrel room between the rows of barrels. The wines were the best we had in Tuscany. Sotto Bosco was our favorite red
Erik
Excellent experience at Azienda Agricola Palagetto, detailed explanations of the wines followed by four tastings. The staff was young and enterprising. Overall, I'd say everything was perfect; the experience exceeded expectations!
Lucrezia
We did a tasting with four adults and four children. The tasting took place calmly; the woman explained everything and was available to answer questions. The service was attentive and we felt pampered. We tasted four wines (two white and two red) and were served a generous platter of local cured meats and cheeses (and their honey!!). We were also served bruschetta, where we could taste the oil produced by the company. The quantity of food was satisfactory, so much so that the children/teenagers with us also had a taste. A wonderful experience! Recommended. We would have loved to visit the
Paola cellars
My wife and I were on this wine tasting experience at the PALAGETTO winery. We'd already heard very positive things about it. We arrived a little early, and upon arrival, the very kind receptionist seated us outside and later offered us a welcome drink. At the appointed time, we were then seated inside the very charming winery to proceed with the tasting of their various wines. The woman who described the wines to us was well-informed and thorough. We tasted a VERNACCIA with appetizers, then tried another from the ARIANNA "VENTANNI" line, which was very pleasant. The first course was paired with a very good red, and to finish, a truly excellent cantucci and vin santo. Overall, a very positive experience and highly recommended.
Fausto
We were lucky enough to do the tasting without too many people enjoying the room, the girl who served us was very professional but also kind and friendly, the food was very good and it is absolutely something to try.
