Today, as in the 11th century, the entire village is intimately involved in wine-growing and olive-growing. The vats and cellars, the vinsantaia and bottling plant, the orciaia and the oil mill – although very modern – are still housed in the basements, in the palaces, in the deconsecrated churches and in the buildings of the village, united by a surprising underground “vinoduct”.

Volpaia, therefore, is not a simple “little theatre for tourists”, but the centre of a complex rural activity to which all the inhabitants of the village are directly or indirectly linked. Visiting the cellars of Volpaia is a unique experience that will take you through all the buildings and churches of the village.
