San Gimignano and Chianti are different settings
Guardastelle is near San Gimignano; Brolio lies in Gaiole in Chianti. Do not label Guardastelle as a Chianti Classico estate simply because the source groups it beside Siena. [8]

Questions before you go
Can I assume the cellar is open when I arrive?
Check and reserve the particular experience. Castle grounds, winery visits and guided tastings have separate arrangements and seasonal calendars. [8]
Are accommodation and tastings one booking?
Do not assume so. Confirm the stay, meal and wine experience separately with the estate.
