Wine & Dine
 

Yes, food served at Villa Ferraia is extraordinary. But our food means much more than satisfied appetites and senses.
 

Italian culture embraces its food
Learn family secrets with recipes handed down through generations. Explore the history of Italian wines on a Tuscan wine tour. Discover the rich taste of fresh produce, hand-picked from our organic vegetable and herb garden or local markets. 

 

Meals create Memories
Taste Italian wines as our in-house chef cooks pizza in an outdoor wood-fired oven. As you sip and chat by candlelight, watch the sun set over the forest below. Wake up to strong Italian coffee and a fresh, homemade breakfast. Dine at a long, wooden table in our timber-beamed dining room, next to a travertine fireplace under hand-forged iron light fixtures and historical paintings.

 

Food is Life
Because we use only local ingredients, seasonal harvest dictates our fresh menu. Winter meals and wines are heartier than summer cuisine.
