Deeply rooted in its agricultural past, 10th century estate Castello di Casole is committed to connecting guests with the bounty of the rolling Tuscan hills. In this new film, we discover Orti del Castello — Chef Daniele Sera’s vision of a farm-to-table ecosystem — curated from the grounds and producers that surround the Castello.

At the helm of Castello di Casole’s Tosca, Chef Sera’s vision has always been one of simplicity: a focus on rustic, Italian dishes with a dash of innovation. Today, meet the Executive Chef as he introduces “Orti del Castello”, a culinary conversation connecting adjacent sun-filled vegetable gardens, lively honey farms and sprawling vineyards around our iconic hotel. Surrounded by a team of talented local producers — from the Head of Gardens to the sommelier — Chef Daniele dives into the soul and ecosystem of Castello’s grounds, the foundation to offer a unique farm-to-table dining experience to our guests.
