One of the highlights of Borgo San Felice is its gastronomic restaurant, Poggio Rosso. Its renowned chef, Francesco Bracali, holder of two Michelin stars, presents exceptional dishes based on the local cuisine but interpreted for modern tastes using local ingredients. All food products at Borgo San Felice are selected on the basis of quality, favoring homemade local products: pink chickpeas of Reggello, shallots of Certaldo, saffron from San Gimignano, beef cuts from Agricola San Felice’s Chianina cattle, great wines and extra virgin olive oil produced at the property’s farming estate. The winelist, along with many of the best Italian and international labels, focuses on local wine production and features labels which originated from studies at “Agricola San Felice” on Sangiovese such as, Vigorello, Poggio Rosso and Campogiovanni a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. You can spend a special morning with Chef Bracali discovering the secrets of traditional dishes and visiting the wine cellar where guests can buy the fabulous products of their farming estate, Agricola San Felice, which produces wine and olive oil. For wine enthusiasts, The Winery is located next to the hotel and offers wine tastings and guided tours of the vineyards of Agricola San Felice.
