Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were fortunate enough to tour the historic and very beautiful Castel Poppiano with the amazing guide Janine.
We later discovered that our guide had worked in many capacities for this estate for many years, as she shared her encyclopaedic knowledge and boundless enthusiasm for wines and oils of the Tuscan region.
We have toured many wineries in many regions, and somehow Janine was able to share her passion for great oil and excellent wine in such a way that we hung on her every word. We learnt so much about the estate and the special care that is taken by the ancient and royal family who run this lovely winery to produce exceptional products.
If you have two hours and you are nearby, please consider meeting Janine and experiencing this wonderful place.

As already mentioned by other reviewers, Janine was an exceptional guide who was very enthusiastic and eager to explain and answer our questions. The view from the castle was incredible, all around a really great experience to get to know the chianti wines and olive oil for an affordable price.

I have done Tuscany winery tours in the past, but our visit and tour of the Castello di Poppiano was the best of my experince. Janine, our tour guide, was so much fun! She also taught us more about wine making and olive oil processing than I have learned in all previous tours combined. We learned the proper way to taste test wines. We sampled some wonderful oils. Seeing the castle, along, is worth the time. The views from the top of the torre (tower) were stunning.

It is definitely a unique place and Janine is a great tour guide. The wine tasting was an amazing experience (Janine really knows her wines) and their olive oil is probably the best I have ever had. Thank you!

We stayed at an Air B’n’B a few hundred meters away. We had booked in advance and luckily (?) it was only our company, so we had this excellent guide to ourselves. Of course, if you have been to other wineries, the process is very much the same. But the guide was good, as I said, and you haven’t been to other wineries, you will know the basic facts after a tour here. The castle is beautiful in its own right, the view from the top of the tower is excellent – San Gimignano’s towers can easily be seen in the distance. The guide almost promoted their olive oil more than their wine (“our green gold”), but I must admit that it is really good.

We booked a wine tour with Janine who was fantastic. Due to COVID situation Tuscany was very quiet so it was just the two of us on the tour. She was really knowledgeable on the history of the family and castle as well as explaining the process for making wine and olive oil. Views from the top of the castle were beautiful.
Love their wine, La Historia is one of our favourites but they do a small selection of great wines so really worth the trip to try if you don’t know them
Really enjoyed the tour and tasting and would definitely recommend! Cheers

The wines are very very good and appropriately priced.
No one mentioned that Macchiavelli had stayed in the Castle. I had learned that along the way.

We enjoyed our tour with Janine. She was lovely and full of knowledge. We liked the wine and especially the super extra virgin oil. We highly recommend this tour and tasting.

Visited yesterday on the fly without booking with our two kids 9 and 12. The organisers were really helpful and we joined an already planned tour with a great group of Americans. Tour was really interesting and our guide, Angus, was hugely knowledgable and able to answer all the questions our kids threw at him. The wine was also lovely:) thank you

We walked over from Villa le Torri where we were staying. We thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon tour of the winery and olive production facility. Janine was wonderfully passionate about the wines, Vin Santos and especially the olive oil produced here. Highly recommended.
