Tuscan Winemaking 
The setting for your winemaking experience will be a beautiful and authentic winery between Cortona and Montepulciano with a breathtaking landscape. Under the patient guidance of the winery’s resident winemaker, sample wines taken directly from the barrel and learn how to distinguish the characteristics of 4 to 5 specific grapes. The opportunity to smell and taste wine directly from the vats and barrels is a unique experience that not everyone has access to. You’ll then blend each varietal in varying percentages, staying close to the Tuscan tradition, while adding a touch of your creativity. Each blend will provide different results and the winemaker will advise you how to get closer to your desired results, whether a sweeter, drier or fruitier note. 

When you have reached your perfect blend creation and the formula noted, 6 bottles of wine per person will be produced. Your wine will be stored in the cellar to age (about 30 days) before shipment. Design your own label while at the winery or submit a photo or graphic design later by email to be attached to your bottles. But your day is not over yet!  Relax over a fabulous lunch at the winery and tasting of their wine. Private chauffeur service is included for this experience, so you can enjoy winemaking and dining in the most relaxed way possible.
