Wine, Food & Culture
This journey is built around Tuscany’s most expressive flavors — from celebrated wines to intimate meals, hands-on culinary moments, and distinctive cultural experiences.
The Tuscany Experience brings together wine regions, regional cuisine, private tastings, hosted dinners, and carefully chosen restaurants so guests can experience Tuscany through the people, places, and flavors that define.
Tuscany Through the Glass and Around the Table
From Chianti to Brunello
The Tuscany Experience highlights some of the region’s most expressive wines, from Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino to Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Super Tuscan blends.
Guided by Joy and Brian’s WSET wine training, guests taste with more context — learning how grape variety, terroir, tradition, aging, and pairing shape what is in the glass, from Sangiovese-driven classics to distinctive regional discoveries.
Chianti Classico — the soul of Sangiovese
Brunello di Montalcino — Italy’s most powerful red
Vernaccia di San Gimignano — Tuscany’s distinguished white
Super Tuscans — bold, boundary-breaking blends
