Cantina Baldetti

Enjoyed a lovely day tasting wine made in this splendid winery. We brought friends back for this second trip. Our guide was knowledge, delightful and so welcoming. We learned that the roses growing near the vines are there for a reason. If the roses are in trouble, it indicates that the vines are as well.
Each wine was as soothing as the beauty surrounding us. We will return!

We had a wonderful experience at Baldetti and made a great purchase to ship home. Martia was a wonderful host and shared so many things about the vineyard.

We visited the Cantina Baldetti Winery and had a great time. Michael the host did an amazing job on giving us a tour around the winery and was very friendly and resourceful and made us feel comfortable. The winery was tidy and spotless all around and it was very pleasant to tour around. The wines were excellent (especially the red wines) and the bruschetta and cheeses were delicious. We would definitely recommend this winery for anyone who's looking to visit a Toscany winery with superb ambiance and wine 🍷

Fantastic tour, the guy was very knowledgeable, great lunch and fabulous wines.

Eduardo was a brilliant guide and explained the unique Baldetti vineyard philosophy with great enthusiasm. A great wine tasting host & incredible wines. Thank you all. Highly recommend a visit if you are staying in or near Cortona. 👌

We recently attended the Syrah Tour at Cantina Baldetti and what a delightful experience! Our guide, Desiree was patient and courteous throughout. She answered our many questions with a great command of English, and the pace of the tour was spot on....perfetto! Oh, and on top of all that, the wine itself - Crano Syrah - was excellent and as a result, 6 bottles of the 2015 are shipping to the UK soon!

We did the pasta cooking class with Paola and this was one of our favorite experiences and meals during our 2 week trip in Italy! Paola and Desiree were both so kind during the class. They were both amazing with our kids and so engaging. We made tagliatelle with Chianina beef ragu sauce and ravioli stuffed with lemon ricotta spinach. Desiree gave us a lovely tour of the winery and we learned so much about their process. We ate outside with a gorgeous view! It was such an amazing experience! We loved the wines and got to sample 6 different ones (3 during the cooking class and 3 with our meal) which was perfect! Highly recommend this family run winery and the lovely setting and people that run it! Grazie Mille Paola and Desiree for your kindness and a beautiful experience.

Amazing experience, we came in without reservation and they were able to take us on a wine tour and tasting. Very knowledgeable, great wine, great experience!!

Really nice wines, top to bottom. We especially enjoyed the rose and the Sangiovese. They have an awesome patio with exceptional views. I recommend you stay for the tasting and light lunch - delicious salad and prosciutto with pecorino and bread. We left with a case and some sparkling.

Probably call ahead if you can, they have great customer service and will cater to you. Best wine experience so far in Tuscany

Took the cooking class and went on the tour. Was a fantastic day learning to cook fresh Italian food and tasting an amazing assortment of wines from Baldetti. I highly recommend the experience and the wine!

The wine tasting and facility tour was a beautiful experience! The staff are very kind and treated me to delicious wine with local cheese and cured meats. I’d highly recommend visiting if you are in the area!

On a recent trip to the Cortona area of Tuscany, Italy in September, six girlfriends and I visited the Baldetti Winery (Azienda Agricola Baldetti Alfonso; Loc. Pietraia 71/a - 52044 Cortona) for wine tasting and a cooking class. I made the reservation about a month in advance. From the minute of arrival, the Baldetti family and the staff at the winery could not have been nicer. Gianluca Baldetti greeted us, then turned us over to Marketing Director, Giulia, who translated the entire day. Paola Baldetti, wife of the winery owner, taught the cooking class. We had coordinated in advance for one of the participants who is Vegan, and the entire day flowed very smoothly. Generous pours of all the wines they make at the winery were served throughout the class and at lunch. The meal was a traditional Sunday afternoon Italian dinner, even though the class was on a Thursday. Dishes included homemade pasta with beef ragout; for the Vegan, the pasta was without egg with a tomato/garlic sauce. The main dish was roasted pork loin stuffed with sausage, pistachios and apples along with potatoes roasted with olive oil and rosemary; for the Vegan, Panzanella, a Tuscan salad made with bread, olive oil, and local fresh vegetables plus tofu. Dessert was Harvest Cake, a buttery, crumbly cake baked with Paola’s homemade cherry marmalade in between the layers, traditionally served during the grape harvest. For the Vegan, dessert was fresh fruit salad. The cost was very reasonable at 75 Euros each which included several glasses of champagne and various rose and red wines, along with the cooking class and the food. Do the wine tasting and if you have the time, the cooking class. It was scheduled from 10 am to 2 pm but we left around 3 pm after eating, a winery tour, then buying wine and olive oil to take home or ship. The winery even sent us home with the leftovers which we ate the next day on our final day in Italy. Wine was shipped quickly and arrived in about a week or two after the trip ended. If you love good food, wine, and cooking, this is a must.

Delicious! Fine Wine! Fine food! Very interesting place to learn about vineyards and how to make wine. 5 Stars

The Wine tasting was really awesome. We were a group of 5. Especially our tour guide Desiree was very nice and dedicated. She knew a lot about the winery and we very much enjoyed our stay! The wine is very delicious. We were very fond of the red wine which was called Marius! We can absolutely recommend it for a day trip!

This was truly a lovely day and I would highly recommend. We were staying in Umbria and had 12 people for a wine-tasting. Simply delightful. Davide was our tour guide and selection advisor. He was extremely knowledgeable about the wine as well as the history of the vineyard. Our lunch was delicious. We will back in Italy next year and have already told our daughters that we will go back to the vineyard!

We spent a wonderfull day at the winery, cooking with the chef and lerning the family secrets....we recommand very warmly. All our family, Sloman, Bachrach

Our tour and tasting at Baldetti was outstanding. We learned so much about their land and grape varietals and the winemaking and wine storage process. The wines we tasted were exceptional. The grounds are gorgeous and the hospitality was top notch!

One of the best decisions we made for our trip. This was an amazing experience lead by the wonderful Desiree. This was the best winery tour any of us had been on. Desiree was wonderful in giving information about the winery, the process, and even how Mario Baldetti set the foundation for the wonderful tradition and love for the work to produce the highest quality of wine. We enjoyed every moment of our tour of the Winery.

We had an amazing time at Baldetti. We were given a private tour and we received a thorough presentation of the entire harvesting and wine making process. It was by far more thorough than other tours we took while in Tuscany. We purchased a case of wine and it was reasonably priced. I highly recommended visiting this winery.

Outstanding experience in Tuscan wine country. Desiree was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide. Great wine tasting and will definitely be back in the future!
