5.00Yuliya is a fantastic tour guide and told us a lot about the history of the winery, as well as about the grapevines and how they make the wine. The wine tasting was brilliant, as was the cheese and meat platter. Everyone who works there is courteous, friendly, and in good spirits.

5.00Very nice experience as a couple. Friendly, informative and delicious. The only drawback - we had booked a German tour, however, there were only English or Italian on site. But this is where the mistake will be with Tripadvisor.
Beautiful visit and excellent tasting

5.00The tasting experience at Tenute delle Ripalte is a sensory journey through the authentic scents and flavors of the Island of Elba. Their rosé, elegant and fragrant, contains in one sip all the Mediterranean essence of the island: its freshness recalls the brackish wind among the vineyards overlooking the sea. Warm Welcoming, breathtaking views and wines that tell the territory with sincerity. An experience to live and savor slowly.
