Castello di Velona

Explore the beauty of Montalcino and taste Tuscany as it was meant to be known. At Castello di Velona Winery, your sommelier leads an intimate tasting of the estate’s Brunello di Montalcino — ranked among the region’s finest — alongside celebrated Tuscan labels.

Sip and listen as aromas of dark cherry, wild herbs and sun-warmed earth unfold. Learn how soil, seasons and patience shape every bottle. Set within the castle’s enchanting setting, this experience invites slow enjoyment, thoughtful conversation and a deeper connection to place — where wine is not just tasted, but truly felt.

Step aboard a private yacht and slip into the quieter side of the Mediterranean. From San Vincenzo, sail through the Tuscan archipelago, where salt-fresh air, shifting blues and sun-warmed decks set the pace of the day. Anchor in secluded bays or drift into postcard villages, guided by weather and mood.

Lunch is prepared on board by a personal chef — simple, elegant dishes paired with esteemed Tuscan wines and a celebratory glass of Champagne. Swim, savour, listen to the sea and let time soften. This is Tuscany experienced slowly, thoughtfully and beautifully.

Drift quietly into the Tuscan dawn as a hot air balloon lifts you above the rolling clay hills of Crete Senesi. Below, Val d’Orcia unfolds in soft layers of mist, cypress-lined roads and golden fields catching first light. Feel the warmth of the burner, hear the gentle rush of air and breathe in the stillness that only early morning brings.

This unhurried journey offers rare perspectives — medieval villages, winding rivers and sculpted landscapes seen from a painter’s height. It’s an intimate, almost meditative way to witness Tuscany waking up, designed for travellers who value beauty, presence and wonder.
