Nice mansion with good views
Unfortunately it rained when we were there, so we did not come out to see the vineyards or olive trees. It is a very beautiful place with a beautiful history. The food was quite excellent and the wines tasted good. Very balanced. You don’t need the knowledge of wine to participate. There was a nice view from where we ate
Response from the operator: Kære Berit, Thank you for sharing your experience with the Tripadvisor community! We are sorry that the rain prevented you from walking among our vineyards and olive trees, but we are absolutely delighted that the beauty of our Renaissance villa, the panoramic view from the tasting room, and our rich history still made your visit special. We especially appreciate your comment about our tastings being accessible to everyone; our goal is always to explain wine with simplicity, passion, and warmth, making both experts and beginners feel perfectly at ease. We are thrilled you enjoyed the food pairing and found our wines well-balanced! We truly hope you will return to Arezzo on a sunny day in the future, so we can finally show you the green heart of Villa La Ripa. Warmest regards, The Luzzi Family & The Villa La Ripa Team

Not a visit but an experience.
We chose this winery after a careful selection among Google proposals in the area. A young company for years of activity, but born from an idea and work carried out by wise hands and brilliant minds. Breathtaking location! Marius guided us through the whole process: from hand-picking by expert experts in the field, to the selection of the bunches, to fermentation and bottling. Clear, poetic, funny and passionate in conversation, he accompanied us to lunch with tasting, which deserves sincere words of appreciation. A trained sommelier, a hard worker, a perfect room man and a gentleman who made our trip a meditative experience. Thank you Marius and thank you to Villa La Ripa for giving us the opportunity to live this moment.
Response from the operator: Grazie di cuore per questa recensione così straordinariamente poetica, profonda e ricca di calore. Leggere che la visita a Villa La Ripa non è stata una semplice gita, ma un’esperienza meditativa, ci riempie di immenso orgoglio. Quando abbiamo dato vita a questo progetto, il nostro obiettivo era proprio questo: unire la scienza, la sapienza del fare il vino e la bellezza della nostra terra per offrire ai nostri ospiti qualcosa di unico, curato in ogni dettaglio, dalla vigna fino alla bottiglia e alla tavola. Sapere che ha percepito la passione e la cura che la nostra famiglia e le 'mani sagge' che ci supportano mettono in questo lavoro è il regalo più bello. I suoi bellissimi complimenti per Marius ci fanno davvero piacere: ha saputo incarnare perfettamente la filosofia di accoglienza e la dedizione che coltiviamo qui nella tenuta, dove ogni ospite deve potersi sentire accolto con eleganza e autenticità. Trasmetteremo sicuramente a lui e a tutto il team della cantina le sue splendide parole. Speriamo di potervi accogliere nuovamente in futuro per un altro momento di condivisione e relax tra i nostri vigneti di Arezzo. Un caro e affettuoso saluto, La Famiglia Luzzi & Il Team di Villa La Ripa

The best sting.
The best straw in his country's region in Tuscany...a wonderful place, a very high-level guided tour by Marius, great wine and excellent tastes. It's just a paradise. Don’t miss out on this trip.

🍷 A Delightful Wine Tasting Experience
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality. The staff were not only incredibly welcoming but impressively knowledgeable—sharing stories and insights that made the tasting feel personal and enriching. Lunch was a treat in itself—beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and perfectly paired with their selection of wines. Each glass offered something special, from crisp whites to bold reds, all showcasing the care and craft behind their winemaking. And just when we thought we’d seen it all, we discovered they also produce cosmetics made from grapes! A surprising and delightful twist that speaks to their creativity and passion for what they do. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and memorable tasting experience. 🍇✨
Response from the operator: Dear Perrine, Thank you so much for this beautifully written and detailed review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you at Villa La Ripa. We are thrilled that you felt our genuine warmth from the very beginning and enjoyed the lunch pairing, designed to showcase how our crisp whites and bold reds complement local flavors. Our team pours so much passion into sharing the history and craftsmanship behind every bottle. We are especially delighted that you discovered and appreciated our grape-based cosmetic line! As a family, this is a very special project for us: the skincare line is created and formulated directly by our daughter, Claudia, who is a professional pharmacist. She uses the extraordinary antioxidant properties of our own grapes to combine scientific expertise with the natural heart of our vineyards. It’s wonderful to know it was a surprising and delightful twist for you! Thank you for your high recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to our corner of Tuscany soon—perhaps for another tasting, or to restock your favorite grape cosmetics! Warmest regards, The Luzzi Family & The Villa La Ripa Team

Lunch Time Tasting & Winery Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arezzo.
How much does Lunch Time Tasting & Winery Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arezzo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lunch Time Tasting & Winery Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arezzo is not rushed.
Is Lunch Time Tasting & Winery Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arezzo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lunch Time Tasting & Winery Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lunch Time Tasting & Winery Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lunch Time Tasting & Winery Tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arezzo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arezzo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lunch Time Tasting & Winery Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arezzo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Arezzo?
+
On Outty we rank every Arezzo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour of the vineyards and tasting of Evo wines and oil in Tuscany, Wine and olive oil tastings with the locals, Cellar Tour & Wine Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Arezzo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Arezzo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Where is the meeting point for Lunch Time Tasting & Winery Tour?

+
