Palagio Experience: the genius loci to touch, taste and live!
At the Palagio, the muse of inspiration often kisses us: as we walk through the vineyards wearing wellington boots, touching the earth and inhaling the fragrances of nature. As we close our eyes to devote all our senses to the secrets of wine. As we savour the culinary essence of our territory – Panzano in Chianti. We love this land and live here all year round. We are more than happy to share with you – in the vineyards, in the cellar and at the table – our way of life a la Toscana’, or rather, ‘a la Panzanese’!
Here you will find three tasting suggestions of our wines with pairings, which we differentiate for our customers or collaborators so as not to standardise the form of the experiences. We tailor your tasting experience from the most basic to the most sophisticated food and wine pairing.
Meet and Greet
A short but intense experience to introduce you to the unique character of our small winery.
We will tell you how we make wine, letting you experience the family atmosphere and the deeper soul of this portion of Tuscany in a convivial, informal and cosmopolitan setting.
To be tasted with a culinary speciality of the winery or of the area there will be three wines, the Passito and, if the season permits, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Il Palagio di Panzano.

Wine Wanderers
We will take you on a discovery of the winery, its vineyards and its flavours. This experience usually begins on the premises of the old wine cellar, where, seated at a table, you will taste four wines, the passito and, if the season allows, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Il Palagio di Panzano.
It is the ideal experience for those who wish to enter into the details of the wine production process and its proper pairing with food. The wines and vintages selected from the winery’s cellar will be paired with the fresh and genuine flavours of the Chianti region’s gastronomic tradition, seasonal delicacies from the winery’s garden and culinary specialities from Panzano in Chianti.
You will discover the pairings, in a convivial and informal atmosphere, sharing your wine and food experience with like-minded enthusiasts from all over the world.

By choosing this experience, you can decide to taste and discover the company’s most emotional and distinctive wine: our Vigna delle Bambole. The tour of the winery will take you to the most prestigious vineyard from which the Grand Selection La Vigna delle Bambole originates.
