PRIVATE Pick&Taste - Cortona Valley, Castle & Wine

Each journey unfolds as a gentle crescendo of emotions — intentionally left unrevealed, so it can be felt rather than explained. Some moments are meant to surprise you along the way.

We follow a thoughtful structure, yet no day is ever the same. Each season brings its own atmosphere, flavors, and encounters, and every proposal reflects what the land genuinely offers at that moment. Nothing is replicated — everything is real, local, and shaped by time and place.

Come and live it for yourself.

We have a feeling it will stay with you.

From the olive tree to the bottle

After Cortona, we move to an authentic 19th-century olive mill, fully updated for today, beginning the story beneath the branches of centuries-old olive trees. You’ll follow the journey of extra virgin olive oil — from the earth and fruit to the modernized press — and finish by tasting and selecting the bottle that most delights your palate. Every moment is crafted to be memorable, educational, and uniquely yours.

Private entry and guided tour — exclusively for you.

A medieval castle of breathtaking beauty, a magical place that even the Queen Mother of England visited in 1992. Wander through its halls, feel the history in the stones, and let the atmosphere of centuries-old walls surround you. Some moments are meant to be experienced, not described.

We’ll journey through the stunning Val di Chiana, along white country roads, charming villages, and the historic Via delle Leopoldine, in search of authentic local delights to bring with you to the final stop. The landscape, scents, and colors of the countryside will guide your senses, making the journey a series of memorable discoveries.

The Abbey of Farneta — a journey through time

We’ll step into the Abbey of Farneta, a place where history, spirituality, and serene beauty converge. Every stone, arch, and cloister tells centuries of stories, quietly preserving the echoes of the past. Wander through its halls and gardens, feel the calm of its sacred spaces, and let the atmosphere transport you beyond the ordinary.

And, weather permitting, the journey continues to the vineyards where Master Fabrizio cultivates his black gold. Among the sunlit rows of vines, you’ll sense the passion, tradition, and care that make this land extraordinary — a discovery for all your senses.

Final stop — a culinary celebration

We conclude the day with a lunch and wine pairing at the Val di Chiana’s finest Syrah producer, where the local treasures you’ve discovered along the way will be revealed and savored.

We won’t disclose more… but rest assured, the level of quality and care in every detail is exceptional. Every bite and sip is designed to delight your senses and celebrate the journey you’ve shared.

As we return to the meeting point, the journey doesn’t end — it stays with you.
