Visitors to the winery can embrace the full experience with vineyard tours, tasting sessions, and cooking classes. There are also a selection of boutique bedrooms and apartments for overnight stays, each exuding rustic charm and offering spectacular Tuscan views. The restaurant, offering locally-sourced traditional Tuscan cuisine, is noticeably a highlight, with diners treated to the perfect pairing of delectable dishes and Coltibuono’s own fine wine’s.

Art and history lovers will find plenty to admire, from the ancient frescoes in the Romanesque abbey, to the 'Alla Coltibuono' exhibition, chronicling the rich heritage of this esteemed winery.
