Italian food is famous all over the world! The freshness and variety of its products, the simplicity of its classical recipes, the hearty Chianti Classico wines that enhance the flavors of Tuscan cookery will give you a sense of what Chianti is: a place where the pace is slow and where you can enjoy happy living!
No matter where you come from, sharing our food and wine is the best way to experience the warmth and authenticity of Chianti. At Villa le Barone, we are happy to accommodate gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian diets, and we will gladly cater to any special dietary requirements—simply inform our Reception in advance.
And you can bring back home a taste of Chianti by purchasing wines from local wineries and Villa Le Barone's olive oil (we can also send them by postmail).
In the evening, dinner is served al fresco on the candlelit terrace or indoors, depending on the weather. Be sure to book your dinner at Reception.
The restaurant, Il Torchio (meaning “the wine press”), is set in the historic wine cellars and serves traditional Tuscan dishes prepared with fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, bursting with aromas and flavors. The menu changes nightly, offering a new experience each evening.
A light lunch is available on the terrace of the Villa, featuring fresh salads dressed with our own extra virgin olive oil, pasta with a variety of sauces, ravioli, cold cuts, cheeses, pizzas, and, of course, a selection of desserts and ice creams.

Villa le Barone is located in the heart of Chianti, one of Italy’s oldest and most renowned wine-producing regions.
The wines in our cellar, with only a few exceptions, are sourced from vineyards within a small radius of Villa le Barone, in the Chianti Classico territory. Carefully selected to complement our cuisine, these wines are chosen for their ability to enhance the flavors of our Tuscan dishes.
For wine enthusiasts eager to bring a taste of Chianti home, we can arrange exclusive wine tastings both on-site and at the surrounding wineries.
