There is perhaps no better way of exploring a
country’s history than through its food. With its’
blessed climate, Tuscany enjoys an abundance of
fresh produce throughout the year.
The restaurant La Torre offers a perfect setting
for a real Tuscan food & wine experience.
Created around local organically grown
ingredients, a tempting assortment of culinary
delights is produced by the Chef and his team.

Chianti is one of the oldest wines in the world
and the ancient Etruscans tended their vineyards
here more than 700 years ago. Many small
grape farmers produce the area’s premier wine,
the ruby red Chianti Classico.
Beautifully restored and once again put to
original use, the Castello del Nero wine
cellar is an intimate and refined locale for a
private celebration or impromptu wine tasting
arranged by our Sommeliers.
