Restaurants
Dear [FIRST_NAME],
You’ll be arriving soon, and we wanted to share a couple of very special places we highly recommend.
The first is La Castellana Restaurant — quite simply my favourite restaurant in the world. It’s been run by the same family for generations and offers truly exceptional, authentic Tuscan food. It’s also very popular and books out quickly, so I strongly recommend reserving as soon as possible. When booking, do mention you’re staying with Liz at Soleevino—they will always try to take extra special care of our guests.
For a truly memorable wine experience, I highly recommend Podere Poggio Scalette. This is the family who manages our vineyards, and they produce outstanding wines. They are a highly respected wine family with a great history. Their tastings are small & intimate so if you want a personal, relaxed experience which is far removed from larger commercial wineries, then you’ll love this authentic tasting. Visits are by reservation only (phone or WhatsApp: +39 055 854 6108, or email: winetour@poggioscalette.it / info@poggioscalette.it). Be sure to mention you are staying with us at Soleevino when booking so Lisa can look after you.
I’ve also added some other great restaurants and wineries that you might like to consider. These are my personal favourites .

To reserve a booking, calling them directly is best. Tell them you are staying with Liz @Soleevino and they hopefully will give you have a nice table.
Ristoro di Lamole
Phone: +39 055 854 7050
A beautiful restaurant for lunch or dinner. Set high on a hill with a windy road but the reward is the view and at night, the food and the majestic sunsets.
