Lupaia

Set aside an hour in the late afternoon to explore wines from the regions of Montepulciano, Montalcino and Chianti. The tasting includes five carefully selected wines, each introduced with context that helps you understand what sets them apart. You’ll learn the difference between lighter styles like Rosso and more structured wines like Brunello, along with how factors like soil and ageing influence the result.

The setting stays relaxed, giving you time to taste, compare and ask questions. It’s an easy way to get closer to Tuscany’s wine culture through guided conversation and shared experience.

Step into a working Tuscan kitchen alongside the chefs and start with a walk through the organic garden to pick fresh herbs and vegetables. Back inside, you’ll prepare a three-course meal together, learning how to make dishes like handmade pasta, meat ragù and cantucci.

The process is shared and easy to follow, with tips given along the way on technique and timing. There’s space to take part at your own pace, ask questions and understand how each dish comes together. Once everything is ready, you’ll sit down to enjoy the meal, tasting what you’ve made in a relaxed space.

Head into the woods with Pierpaolo and his trained dogs, who lead the way through familiar trails in search of black truffles and, if you’re lucky, white ones. The dogs move with focus, picking up scents you wouldn’t notice, while you follow along and watch the process unfold.

There’s time to understand how truffles grow, where to look and how they’re carefully uncovered. It’s a walk that feels active and engaging, shaped by the pace of the dogs and the terrain. Later, the truffles you’ve found are used by the chefs, adding a fresh, personal touch to your meal.
