Chianti, Whites & New Arrivals
Surrounded on all sides by Chianti vineyards, Pieve a Castello sits in the heart of one of Europe’s great wine-growing regions. Each evening, meals are paired with fine regional wines - from classic Chianti DOCG selections to vibrant whites and emerging varietals from lesser-known estates. On select evenings, guided tastings explore the zones and sub-zones of the area, introducing both structure and surprise to the glass.
Food & Wine
at Pieve a Castello
From Garden to Table
Tuscan cuisine is widely recognised as one of the world’s finest - not for complexity, but for the purity of its flavours. At Pieve a Castello, our chef draws inspiration from tradition and our land: vegetables from the organic gardens, wild herbs, fish from local spring-fed pools, and ingredients sourced from within a day’s walk (25km).
Seasonal menus often feature wild boar, prized porcini mushrooms, and pecorino cheese from nearby farms - all prepared with care, and with the lightness of hand that great food allows.
“The food was simply magnificent - fresh, beautifully presented, and utterly Tuscan. Every bite told a story of where we were.”

Our Celebrated Picnics
No stay is complete without our legendary picnics - a longstanding favourite among guests. Set in meadows, vineyards, or hilltops with panoramic views, these generous spreads feature salads, charcuterie, cheeses, crusty breads, seasonal fruit, wine... and a setting so beautiful it becomes part of the flavour. Whether you're walking or relaxing, this is outdoor dining at its most elegant.
Simple. Seasonal. Unforgettable.
At Pieve a Castello, food is an expression of place — rooted in centuries of Tuscan tradition, elevated by sustainable practices, and served in settings of rare beauty. Whether you’re dining beneath the arches of an 8th-century baptistry or enjoying a picnic in the shade of an olive grove, every meal reflects the care and character of this timeless landscape.
Sustainable by Nature
With growing awareness of greenhouse gas emissions and food miles, sustainability isn’t just a philosophy here - it’s a way of life. The majority of ingredients are grown or foraged on-site or nearby. Even meals served on the terrace or in the candlelit baptistry feel grounded - in season, in community, in intention.
A Final Note...
From your morning cappuccino to your last glass of vin santo, food and wine are central to the rhythm of life at Pieve a Castello. But here, it’s never about indulgence for its own sake - it’s about simplicity, care, and the joy of sharing meals in unforgettable places.
