great experience - beautiful winery in a picturesque location with beautiful sea views. The tour was great, very informative and rounded off with a great tasting of the wines produced. The local specialists were also very well selected. We felt comfortable seeing. Our group was very small and the young Dam who took the tour with us was very friendly, accommodating and funny. Thank you for the experience

We recommend this experience to everyone - My boyfriend and I participated in a Wine Experience with tasting of 5 wines. Julia was our guide for the two hour experience: very professional yet friendly and kind. Perfect tasting on the terrace overlooking the sea, wines accompanied by excellent tastings of local products.
Super!

Tasting and visit to the estate - Guided tour described in detail by a very friendly and kind girl, excellent products with wines that are not only drinkable but excellent. The history of the estate does it credit and it is an enchanting place
Worth trying without any doubt

Great wine, great people and great scenery - My wife and I had a wonderful tour with Yuliya as our guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and we had a great time talking about wine, life and everything else. We had a “private” tour as we were only ones booked for the day. The location is stunning and history of the vineyards and the surrounding area is fascinating. If you are on Elba, don’t pass up a visit, you will enjoy your time and never forget the experience.

Lots of stuff - Immense, spectacular location. Impressive terrace with vineyard/sea view.
Very professional, kind and enterprising staff.
Too bad only the dirt road, the only access to get there. Too bad it seemed closed on Easter Monday, while it was open regularly. Too bad the glass of wine costs €7, with a dose perhaps a little below normal. But excellent

Hold tight! - I understood the beauty of the estate from the single starting point and from which we practically did not move. I was expecting a tour, even a short one, among the vineyards and some of the accommodation facilities. Tour that didn't actually happen. Other than that, the guide was very kind and helpful, and the tasting on the terrace was very pleasant. I'll have to return, perhaps by bicycle, because the place is really worth it!
