WINE WEEK 2023

​

We are hosting a special Tuscan wine week based at i Castagni this summer from 27 August to 2 September (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, this includes everything in the programme (visits, wines, meals, accommodation).  It does not include airfares and transfers from/to your arrival airport to the hotel (although we can book these for you- please ask).

 

i Castagni owner and host, Tim, knows personally all the wine producers you will be visiting and will be delighted to answer any questions you might have before you book. Please do get in touch with him using the Contact Us form below if you have any questions or queries.
