Bottaia Winery
Ponte’s modernist sibling: clean-lined tasting bar, blending labs, and a summer pool club between the vine rows.
Ponte’s modernist sibling, built for a different mood entirely: clean-lined tasting bar, blending sessions, and a summer pool club dropped between the vine rows. It is the clearest signal that the valley has stopped assuming every visitor wants Tuscan.

Before you drive
This page is an independent guide, not the winery. Hours, tasting fees and
reservation rules change season to season — and several rooms are
reservation-only on weekends. Check Bottaia Winery’s own site or call before
building the day around it.
