When we wine-lovers close our eyes and picture the ultimate trip to Tuscany, chances are the dream destination we envision looks a lot like Castello Banfi Wine Resort. Set high on a hill surrounded by undulating vineyards and olive groves punctuated by cypress trees, the crowning glory of the picturesque hamlet is Banfi’s fairytale-like castle (complete with a crenelated tower), which dates back to the 12th century.
Boasting some of the region’s most prestigious wines, 360-degree views of the postcard-worthy Tuscan countryside, a Michelin-starred restaurant and 14 luxe guest rooms and suites, it’s no wonder Castello Banfi has become one of the top destinations for wine and food lovers visiting brunello country.
