Podere Le Ripi

Absolutely fantastic tour ! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, caring and clearly had a passion for the animals welfare and wine production at Vineyard she was absolutely fantastic!. The wines produced here are various and there is something for everyone! We opted for a tour of the animals, lunch and wine tasting and was extremely happy with the service and staff. I can highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun adventurous afternoon out !

We had a beautiful experience wine tasting at Podere Le Ripi! Felicia was very knowledgeable and passionate about the wines created here in the region. We are so happy to be expecting a shipment of amazing wines when we return home!

One of our favourite winery visits!!! Our guide, Ciara was so welcoming and knowledgeable. When we speak to other wineries, they also acknowledge that this winery has a group of good people working for them - quite evidently because you can see that when you have happy employees, they give the best to your customers too. €40 for 5 wines and a tour of the winery was just a treat. We were lucky to have been giving a private tour as the other participants did not show up, but it was also expected to be a small group. The winery was just beautiful and even more so the wines! We had a tough time deciding what to bring home. Overall, a must visit if you are in Montalcino!!!

Our visit to Podere Le Ripi was one of spectacular!! Consuelo was our guide, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the wines and the whole Brunello-making process. She shared really interesting insights about the vineyard’s philosophy, biodynamic practices, and how their wines come to life. We asked a lot of questions, and she answered all of them with care and clarity. The wines were incredible—each one unique and beautifully crafted—and the setting couldn’t have been better. We did the tasting with a lovely group of people, and it felt more like a relaxed afternoon with friends than a formal tour. The view was breathtaking, and Consuelo even gave us some great local tips for the rest of our stay in Montalcino.

Just WOW! This was the coolest vineyard I’ve ever been to, and the wine was so delicious we shipped a bunch home. The property is gorgeous, the staff was so kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. We will absolutely be back!

Our experience from start to finish was incredible! The drive to Podere Le Ripi was stunning and gave a perfect snapshot of Tuscany. Our tour/tasting guide, Sara, was kind and friendly in addition to being extremely knowledgeable about the vineyard, the cellar, and the wine itself. The staff took great care to make our experience one to remember. I am currently pregnant and was unable to taste the wine, but they all ensured I had a great experience by giving me some of the honey they produce on site; and it was delicious. My husband said the wine itself was some of the best wine he has ever had. The price for the tour/tasting was a great value. We highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to enjoy a quite afternoon sipping delicious wine, surrounded by lovely landscapes and high quality people!

We booked a tour with dinner and it was excellent! The chef was incredible! The tastings were excellent. We also had a pregnant woman on our tour and they were extremely accommodating and thoughtful with adjusting the menu choices that worked for her. The building itself is unique and worth the visit. We would go again!

My husband and I came here during our honeymoon and had such a great experience! The wine was perfect , but the best part was our guide Felicia explaining to us the whole wine process. We knew nothing about wine beforehand but are leaving feeling like wine pros

Wonderful experience tasting the regional vintage Brunello wines. The wine tasting included nicely prepared lasagna that paired well with the various wines. Our host was very pleasant and explained the history of this vineyard and what goes into developing world-class wine.

I did a lot of research on selecting vineyards that were unique and what I loved about this was that they are biodynamic, have a bonsai vineyard and have olive oil. The owner is also Francesco Illy if you are familiar with Illy coffee. Biodynamic: Uncontaminated soil and the wine processes happen in a 100% ecological wine cellar, built to have zero impact on the environment. Bonsai: It is the densest vineyard in the world meaning the vines are planted very close together which produce a very unique tasting wine. Tour & Tasting: We did a tour of the vineyard, pagoda, cellar and did the actual tasting inside the tasting room by the terrace. We went to about 9 wineries while in Tuscany and Podere le Ripi had one of the most memorable tours. We tasted: 2015 Toscana Rosso IGT 2014 Toscana Rosso IGT 2012 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2011 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva 2005 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2016 Bonsai with delicious Parmesan cheese, bread and olive oil. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made us feel right at home. We ended up buying 2 bottles plus a bottle of olive oil.

We did a wine tasting here, very cool. I loved their port. Can't remember if you can buy the wines in the U.S., but she said Mario Batali serves them at some of his restaurants.
