In the past and, fortunately, the present, the Chianti countryside provided the flavours and principles on which the region's local cuisine is based. These regional dishes can be savoured at San Felice, both in their rustic and more modern interpretations. Chianti Classico Docg red wine, extra virgin olive oil, honey, vin santo, pecorino cheese (sheep's' milk), Cinta Senese cured meats and delicious Chianina beef can all be tasted.
	There are also other types of product that have deservedly become famous in Chianti: there are many ceramics workshops as well as Sienese terracotta factories. A visit to the numerous ceramics workshops in the area is like entering a magical vortex of shapes and colours, which transmit the age-old local tradition, dating as far back as the Etruscans. A visit to artisans making wrought iron pieces or hand embroideries, both traditional to the area, is recommended.
Mention should also be made of the courtesy of the people of Chianti: their behaviour is in itself a form of high craftsmanship of the spirit. Take, for example, the affable, welcoming character of Bruna, who has lived all her life in San Felice and works in her small garden every day with the application and dedication of someone who knows that they must make this corner of the world, which is not hers exclusively, into a more beautiful place.
