 "Cookery Courses":
The aim of the courses organised by Lisa and Maurizio is to introduce people in a natural and practical way to simple and genuine Tuscan cooking, so that, on their return home, they can easily reproduce the same dishes. During the lessons you will learn how to organise a dinner from the starter to the dessert in a style which is completely "made in Tuscany". Simplicity, imagination and hospitality are the basic ingredients of all our dishes. |
 Wine Producing:
S. Appiano is one of the oldest farmhouses for the production of Chianti wine in Tuscany, situated in one of the most beautiful areas of the Chianti region. Since more than 40 years our family is one of the most famous Chianti producer of the Chianti area.

Our winery has received the price Oscar Qualità-Prezzo 2001 of the pubblication Gambero Rosso "Almanacco del BEREBENE 2002".

Barberino V.Elsa with shops and banks is at 4 km, Poggibonsi, a bigger village with Supermarkets, at 6 km, S.Gimignano at 15 km, Florence at 35 km and Siena at 40 km. The area is well known for the number of archaeological finds and family tombs from the Iron Age until the days of the Roman Empire. The church of Sant'Appiano is the oldest medieval Romanesque parish church in Tuscany with fine frescos and paintings by the Florentine school of Ghirlandaio and Giotto, a baptismal font in pietra serena stone and delicately ornamented pillars and capitals. On this richly historical land, the Sant'Appiano Farm's 15 hectares of vineyards extend in a SE position at an altitude of 280 m. |
