During your two-night stay at Villa Tignanello, you’ll explore the Tenuta Tignanello estate and savor a luncheon paired with their exceptional wines, followed by dinner at the charming Trattoria della Fonte. A private car will whisk you to the picturesque towns of Chianti for a tour of Antinori’s historic cellars under the Benedictine abbey Badia a Passignano, and dinner at the Michelin-starred Osteria di Passignano.

Then you’re off to the spectacular Tuscan coast for two nights at the elegant Guado el Tasso Estate Guest House. Your itinerary includes a private tour, tasting, and luncheon at the winery, followed by an exquisite dinner at Osteria del Tasso. Your week wraps up with lunch at Le Mortelle Estate and a farewell dinner at your guest house.
