🍷🌿 Ma… cosa significa davvero “vino biodinamico”?

Ieri sera abbiamo cercato di rispondere a questa domanda insieme. È nato un confronto affascinante sulla filosofia, sul rispetto della terra e sulle sfumature uniche che solo questo metodo sa regalare.

Abbiamo viaggiato tra i calici attraverso tre realtà straordinarie: , Amerighi e

Se ti incuriosisce l’idea di scoprire vini unici e fuori dagli schemi, ti aspettiamo al nostro prossimo incontro a Lucca! Una serata dedicata ai vitigni autoctoni e rari della Toscana... con qualche sorpresa che non vediamo l’ora di svelarvi. 🍇🤫

Golden light, full glasses, and lunches that turn into stories… 🍷✨ welcome to our Tuscan food and wine tours!
If you’re looking for the Tuscany that exists off the beaten path—the delicious, authentic, and unapologetically hedonistic one—you’ve found it.

We don’t just "tour" the countryside; we experience it slowly and joyfully: Family-run wineries, hidden farms, stunning views, and the kind of authentic charm you can’t find in a guidebook or group tour... Our private experiences are custom-made, a lot of fun, and always centered around the slow, delicious way of life.

Spring is here! So we headed out to the beautiful Camellia Park near Lucca. And it was a magical morning :)

After a long and grey winter, spring is finally here! Everything is in bloom, and the Tuscan countryside is positively buzzing with life :) I love the spring and I love botanical gardens, so it's no surprise that one of my favorite places to visit during this season is the Camellia Park near Lucca.....
