Villa Il Poggiale Dimora Storica, San Casciano - Area Information
Beyond the centuries-old cypresses around Villa il Poggiale, Colle Argiano overlooks the beautiful vineyards of Chianti Gallo Nero from its privileged position. By strolling through the small tracks stretched on the gentle hills, you can reach the undamaged old villages of Greve, Gaiole and Panzano in just a few minutes. Immerse yourself in the local culture by taking part in traditional, regional activities; The Palio of Siena: This procession with banners through the different neighbourhoods, followed by the race in the splendid Piazza del Campo, is a breathtaking spectacle. The atmosphere during the days preceding the famous race is uniquely electrifying. Dinner set out on tables in the streets, the benediction of the horses in their various parishes, the music, the costumes which date back to Middle Ages, are experiences you will never forget. Il Poggiale is only 40 minutes from Siena, and tickets for the Palio and for the supper afterwards in the various neighbourhoods can be obtained through the hotel itself. The Olive Harvest: Wine and olive-oil are the two hallmarks of Tuscany. You can take part in the gathering of the olives and in their pressing in the ancient olive presses. As the new oil drips into the vats, you can taste the original Tuscan extra-virgin olive-oil at the source, smeared onto a slice of warm toasted Tuscan bread. Wine Tasting in the heart of the Chianti area: In the lovely Medieval village of Badia a Passignano, wine tasting sessions are available in the historical wine cellars owned by the Antinori Marquises. Beside the wine cellar, there is an elegant high-quality restaurant also owned by the Antinori family. It is also possible to arrange wine tasting sessions in some of the best wine farms in the Chianti area.
