PALAZZO VECCHIO

La Fattoria di Palazzo Vecchio, formerly known as the Fattoria di Valiano, dominated the border area between what was then the Papal State and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.Overlooking the Val di Chiana, it has witnessed great historical events, including the reclamation of the valley itself, a grandiose work of engineering and hydraulics begun in 1788 on commission from Grand Duke Leopold I of Lorraine, who knew that completion of the project would make the valley the richest and most fertile in Tuscany. Perched atop a hill and surrounded by vineyards, Palazzo Vecchio commands a 360° view of countryside that is acclaimed for its beauty. It enjoys a unique environmental situation, not only due to the position of its vineyards and the recognised quality of its soil, but also for its particularly favourable climatic conditions, with light breezes that caress the grapes, keeping them perfectly healthy.  We offer tours of the vineyards and cellars, tastings of our wines, lunches, dinners, and cooking classes. Are you looking for a place for an important party or wedding? Contact us for more details or visit our website or Facebook pages (Palazzo Vecchio Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and La Dogana Enoteca) and look at pictures. We also have our new wine bar, La Dogana, that is conveniently located on the Via Lauretana, that connects Montepulciano with Cortona. Stop by for a taste of our wines, or enjoy a bite to eat, have a glass at one of our tables outdoors and relax in a beautiful location. We also serve an evening aperitivo!
