Tuscany Wine Retreat | Semi-private Experience | November 4-8, 2026

You will arrive individually at the charming accommodation, surrounded by the rolling hills and vineyards of coastal Tuscany. Upon check-in, a warm welcome aperitif is served in a reserved area of the hotel, offering the perfect moment to relax and meet fellow travelers. During this informal gathering, you will receive the essential materials—including the full retreat program and handouts—and you will be introduced to the experience ahead with a short briefing session. In the evening, you'll enjoy your first dinner on-site: a four-course meal celebrating local, seasonal Tuscan cuisine, thoughtfully prepared to reflect the authentic flavors of the region. The tone is set for a week of connection, discovery, and indulgence in the heart of Tuscany.

Your day begins with an engaging wine lesson at the estate focused on Bolgheri—one of Italy’s most prestigious wine regions, home to the iconic Super Tuscans. You’ll explore the unique character of coastal reds through a guided tasting of top blends. The morning culminates in a fun and interactive blind tasting game, where you’ll step into the role of a “winemaker for a day,” blending different varietals to craft your own signature wine. In the afternoon, you’ll head to Bolgheri by private transportation to experience the region firsthand. Enjoy a traditional countryside lunch at a local winery, followed by an exclusive visit and tasting of the estate’s most celebrated wines. Back at the accommodation, your evening concludes with a hands-on Tuscan cooking class. Under the guidance of a local chef, you’ll prepare authentic regional dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients—and then gather around the table for a warm, convivial dinner to savor your creations.

This morning, you’ll set off on a journey into the heart of Tuscany’s most iconic grape: Sangiovese. At a renowned wine estate, you’ll take part in an insightful thematic lesson—“Sangiovese: Character & Terroir”—followed by a comparative tasting that reveals how this varietal expresses the nuances of different Tuscan regions. Next, you’ll enjoy a relaxed wine-paired lunch right at the estate. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to complement and enhance the versatility of Sangiovese wines, highlighting the harmony between local food and terroir. In the afternoon, the experience continues in Montalcino, home of the world-famous Brunello. You’ll visit a distinguished winery, explore its cellars, and take part in an exclusive Brunello tasting, discovering the elegance, depth, and aging potential that make this wine one of Italy’s finest. You’ll return to the accommodation in the evening for a well-deserved moment of relaxation and another delicious four-course dinner crafted with seasonal ingredients.

Your final full day begins with a thematic wine lesson at the estate: “Tuscany, Land of Wine.” You’ll explore the region’s rich winemaking heritage, its key appellations, and the diversity of its terroirs—followed by a comparative tasting of wines from across Tuscany. At midday, you’ll enjoy a wine-paired lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant, where each dish is matched with regional wines to showcase the depth and balance of Tuscan cuisine. In the afternoon, you’ll visit a hidden gem winery near the estate. After a stroll through the vineyards and cellars, you’ll sit down for a final tasting session, savoring wines that reflect the essence of the local land and winemaking traditions. The day ends with a celebratory dinner at the accommodation, bringing together all the flavors, friendships, and memories built throughout your retreat in Tuscany.
