Weingut in der Toskana mit Pool und Sonnenterrasse

Montaione and surrounding area

Tenuta delle Rose lies about two-and-a-half kilometres to the north of Montaione, a picturesque locality with around 4,000 residents where items of everyday use are available. Two large supermarkets and lots of smaller shops sell a huge assortment of regional produce from which you can conjure up your own delicious Tuscan meal.

Restaurants from trattoria to award-winning eatery

Anyone who enjoys being spoilt has come to exactly the r­ight region: count­less restau­rants, both local and in the vi­cinity, ranging from the traditio­nal trattoria to award-winn­ing eateries, look forward to welcoming you. We would be happy to recommend one and make a reservation for you on request. And, needless to say, we’ll let you know where to find the best pizza and the yummiest “gelato”!

In the heart of Tuscany

Its central location within the Florence-Siena-Pisa triangle makes our estate the ideal star­ting ­point for excursions not only to these famous cities, but also to lesser known treasures in this wonderful cultivated ­land­scape. We will be happy to provide you with tips and information.

Experience Tuscany

We can arrange horse riding or riding lessons, a tennis court and bicycle hire for you on request. The renowned and beautiful Golf Club of Castelfalfi golf course is only around 25 kilometres from the Tenuta, whilst anyone hoping for some pampering can chill out at Terme delle Via Francigena. You will find my impressions of the region here.

There is plenty to explore – so our guests appreciate returning to the tranquil setting of Tenuta delle Rose all the more at the end of an eventful day.

Eroica – 31 May 26

The heroes of the highways will be on the road during the first weekend of October. The “Eroica” is an historic cycle race: the participants set off on old bicycles that are wonderful to watch. The lap times are not important, but the stopovers – with traditional Tuscan refreshments of course – are great. It starts in the marketplace of Montalcino.

July 2026

Teatro del Silenzio – July 23rd and 25th 2026

In 2006 the world-famous tenor Andrea Bocelli opened his “Teatro del Silenzio” in Lajatico, a small town a good 30 kilometres from “Tenuta delle Rose”. The name translates as “Theatre of Silence” as music can only be heard there once a year – it is silent for the rest of the year.

In summer 2026 it is possible to see Bocelli on July 23 and -for the first time- his youngest son Matteo on July 25. However, it’s still worth paying a visit to this impressive open-air amphitheatre on other days of the year.

Mostra mercato nazionale Tartufo Bianco San Miniato – November 2026

Mostra Mercato Nazionale del Tartufo Bianco is a national festival in honour of the famous white truffle from the San Miniato region. Also known as the “festival of perfume” due to the intoxicating fragrance of truffles wafting through the streets during this season, it attracts many visitors and gourmets every year. Everything revolves around the celebrated tuber here. Not only does the festival help the truffle to achieve widespread popularity, it also provides an opportunity to exchange knowledge and offer tastings and specialities. As well as a varied programme of events, visitors can taste and buy different dishes, delicious wines and much more besides. A feast for the senses!

In 2026 the market will take place on 2nd, 3rd and last weekend of November. See details here.
