Wine & Falconry

Enter the timeless world of falconry, a noble art that combines grace, trust, and tradition. You’ll meet a certified master falconer and his birds of prey, witnessing their power and elegance in flight against the Tuscan sky. After the falconry demonstration, unwind with a private wine tasting paired with local delicacies on our estate — an experience that blends ancestral knowledge with sensory pleasure.

Truffle Hunting, Truffle Cooking Class & Wine Tasting

Join a local truffle hunter and his trained dog as you explore the woods near San Gimignano in search of Tuscany’s most treasured delicacy. Then, bring your harvest back to our estate kitchen, where a professional chef will guide you through a hands-on cooking class using fresh seasonal ingredients — including your truffles. The day ends with a gourmet lunch paired with our organic wines. From earth to plate, every moment is rich in flavor and story.

Mill, Make & Taste: The Full Pasta Journey with Wine Tasting

This experience is a tribute to the ancient rhythms of Tuscan food culture, focused on grains, flour, and handmade pasta. You’ll learn to work with local stone-ground flours, create traditional pasta shapes, and discover the golden link between land and table.

collect memories, and share it

 

These are not activities to simply “do” — they’re experiences to feel, to live fully, and to carry with you long after your time in Tuscany has ended. They are moments that awaken your senses, nourish your curiosity, and invite you to slow down and be fully present.

As you hold a falcon on your arm and feel the strength and stillness of its wings, you’re not just observing — you’re connecting with an ancient art, one passed down through centuries of trust and tradition. When you walk through the forest with a truffle hunter and his loyal dog, the scent of earth and mystery in the air, the thrill of discovery becomes part of your story. And when you return to the kitchen to roll out fresh pasta, laughter echoing and flour on your hands, you’re no longer a guest — you are home, if only for a moment.

Every gesture, every flavor, every shared glance across the table becomes a piece of something bigger: a living memory rooted in authenticity, emotion, and place. These are not souvenirs you can pack in a suitcase. They are memories you collect with your heart, and that will return to you every time you open a bottle of wine, cook a Tuscan recipe, or simply close your eyes and remember the feeling of belonging.

You are not just a visitor — you become part of Tuscany’s story, and Tuscany becomes part of yours.
