WINE WEEK

​

We will be hosting a special small-group (maximum 12 people) Tuscan wine week based at i Castagni from 27 August to 2 September 2023 and 25 to 31 August 2024 (7 days, 6 nights). This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn all about Tuscan wines, with expert-led tastings and visits to wineries in the local wine denominations of Montepulciano (with its famous Nobile di Montepulciano), Montalcino (famed for its Brunello di Montalcino), the beautiful Val d’Orcia, and the renowned Chianti Classico region.  There will also be great Tuscan food and every opportunity to enjoy the local towns, villages and scenery.

 

This very special week will combine all the best elements of Italian life: you will live in a real Italian village and see the community going about its daily life; eat in restaurants where Italians eat; and discover some of Tuscany’s most breathtaking scenery.  All as a backdrop to sniffing, swirling, learning about and tasting Tuscan wines.

 

A side programme will run in parallel during the week for those who may like a break from wines or to spend more time visiting local attractions.  Time is also built into the programme for adequate rest during the day.

 

Guests will be accommodated at i Castagni.  The cost per person for the week is €5500 (or $5500 if you wish to pay in US dollars) this includes everything in the programme (visits, wines, meals, accommodation).  It does not include airfares or transfers from/to your arrival airport to the hotel. If you need assistance with booking your airport transfer to/from the hotel, please ask.
