Itinerary
Your private chauffeur will meet you directly at your hotel in central Rome. Step aboard a luxury Mercedes minivan equipped with bottled water, and air conditioning. Sit back and relax as your scenic journey to Tuscany begins.
Enjoy a comfortable ride through rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards that define the Tuscany wine region. Your driver will share insights about the land, culture, and the legendary Brunello di Montalcino, one of Italy’s most prestigious wines.
Duration: 180 minutes
Arrive at a historic Tuscan castle surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, where your hosts will welcome you for an authentic culinary journey. Begin with a guided tour of the vineyards and ancient cellars, learning about the estate’s history and the production of world-famous Brunello di Montalcino wines.
Next, step into the castle kitchen for an immersive hands-on cooking class led by a local chef. Using fresh ingredients from the estate’s gardens and nearby farms, you’ll prepare a full four-course Tuscan menu — from handmade pasta to traditional desserts — following authentic family recipes.
After the class, sit down to enjoy your creations during a three-course lunch, perfectly paired with a tasting of three premium wines:
- Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
- Rosso di Montalcino DOC
- IGT Sangiovese
Enjoy this moment of relaxation and flavor surrounded by the breathtaking views of the Val d’Orcia countryside, a true celebration of Tuscany’s food, wine, and heritage.
