Vineyard and Grounds

 

The beautiful stone terraces off the kitchen and breakfast/bar area offer mesmerizing views of the Umbrian countryside.  The lounge areas are a great spot for an 'aperativo' while watching the sun set over the hills.  Next to the striking 7m x 18m pool, a shaded bamboo pergola provides magnificent views, shade and space for entertaining.

A wood-burning oven and grill is housed in a separate building at the front of the house.  Perfect for traditional Umbrian wood-oven pizza as well as baked dishes and roasts.  The wood burning grill attached to the structure offers a stone sink, plenty of work space and a large open grill.

 

Golf Long

The Vineyard Valley Golf Club provides the perfect opportunity to work on your short game.  It includes a 250 square meter putting green in the front orchard, and at least ten short holes from tees in the vineyard and near the house. 

 

 

The 10-acre vineyard features Merlot and Sangiovese grapes, grown on a sweeping hillside that rises to an elevation of 420 meters.  Learn more about our wine here .  Our underground cantina stores roughly 4,000 bottles of wine and other fine things that are homemade at Podere Calzone, including Limoncello, Basilcello and Nochino.  It is also an ideal space for hosting private wine tastings.

Vineyard Valley Golf Club

Who wouldn't want a 250 square meter putting green in their front yard?  Inspired by this thought and the urgent need to work on our short games, we borrowed from #11 at St. Andrews and designed a traditional green and our signature shot from the top of the vineyard. Ten additional shots are played from the grounds and any number of short chips and challenging putts can be practiced.
