If you’re planning to visit Tuscany this year, I’d love to invite you to join one of my tours. My husband Arnaud and I would be delighted to welcome you in the place where we call home, a little corner of Tuscany where the luxury of everyday life lies in simple things.
Good food, exceptional wines, ancient culture, rolling hills, a community of friends and local connections. Here, life moves at a slower pace, with sunny days graced by the Mediterranean’s warm influence.
You’ll be traveling along with us and have the opportunity to gain insights into the history, culture, and traditions from true insiders.
We have four spots left for a special tour from April 8–12, designed to immerse you in the history and passion that define the Bolgheri’s wine culture. Highlights include exclusive visits to:
- Grattamacco Wine Estate: A pioneer in the Bolgheri appellation, Grattamacco is celebrated for being one of the first winery to experiment with French grapes in Bolgheri, crafting elegant and balanced wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.
- Ornellaia Wine Estate: A globally renowned winery known for its meticulous attention to detail and artistry in producing some of the world’s most iconic wines.
During these visits, you’ll not only taste their exceptional wines but also:
- Explore historical vineyards that tell the story of Bolgheri’s winemaking legacy.
- Visit their barrique cellar, where French oak barrels age and preserve the wines, allowing them to develop complexity and depth.
- Gain insight into the entire winemaking process—from grape to glass—and discover how individual components are blended to create these extraordinary wines.
Clik here and get in touch with me if you want to join.
Throughout your stay, we’ll wander the cobblestone streets of medieval villages, meet local producers, visit a cheese farm, and savor the best cuisine of our favorite restaurants.
We’ll cook and share two meals at my family’s table, savoring traditional Italian recipes that have been passed down for generations, and I’ll reveal you some secrets of Italian cooking.
Your accommodation will be at a locally-owned boutique hotel within walking distance to Castagneto Carducci village with stunning view of the Mediterranean.
The daily breakfast treats are freshly homemade by the staff each day, adding a touch of home-cooked warmth to your mornings.
These are the great, simple pleasures we want to share with you. If you have any questions or want to learn more about the upcoming trips, please don’t hesitate to reach out by responding to this email!
Love from Tuscany,
Chicca & Arnaud!
