Villa Costa Residence

Wine, olive oil and grappa tasting

    In the vicinity of Marlia the slopes of the surrounding hills are home to vineyards and olive groves warmed by the Tuscan sun. Along the “ strada del Vino”, which winds its way among the smooth charming hills, you will easily find many producers who offer their own wine, olive oil, honey, and local dishes. The road itself is the paradise for photographers. One of the well-tested and recommended wineries is Fattoria Maionchi. (see the map).

    It is situated 8 km away from Villa Costa. It’s well-worth a visit to sample really good wines and olive oils as well as see the original Tuscan farm (once completely self-efficient) with an atmosphere of a time gone by.


    Fattoria Maionchi bases its production solely on the produce grown on its land, which guarantees highest quality of wines and oils. Many famous people used to or still buy their products here, among others Luciano Pavarotti, Tom Cruise and many others, whose photos decorate the wall of the restaurant on the ground floor of the Villa. The restaurant offers traditional local dishes in beautiful interior full of memorabilia. While serving the wine, Signora will tell you what variety of wine you are tasting, and what characteristics of its aroma and taste make its body and soul. Maionchi is an unforgettable place you will want to come back to.
