Weston –
Our experience at Tenuta Torciano was exceptional from start to finish. We booked the helicopter tour and wine tasting lunch package to celebrate our daughter’s 18th birthday, and the team made it truly unforgettable. Communication was excellent, every detail was carefully arranged, and the staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. The helicopter tour was amazing, with breathtaking views of Tuscany and a friendly guide who shared interesting information throughout the flight. The wine and olive oil tasting, followed by lunch, exceeded all expectations. Every dish was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared with obvious care and passion. A special thank you to Gabriela, the chef, for the outstanding culinary experience and the wonderful surprise birthday cake. The staff singing Happy Birthday to our daughter was a touching moment we will never forget. Warm, welcoming, and highly professional people. We highly recommend Tenuta Torciano and would gladly return.
