Wine Retreats in Umbria & Tuscany: Slow Travel, Local Wine, and Authentic Experiences
Small, curated wine retreats in Italy led by a local sommelier
Small, highly curated retreats in Umbria.
Experiences designed to slow down, taste deeply, connect with land, and live Italy beyond the “tourist” layer.
This is not another retreat in Italy, it is an authentic experience in the Umbrian countryside lead by a LOCAL who is also a certified sommelier that can show you the real rhythm of local Italian Winemakers and their vineyards.
What These Retreats Are
These retreats are intimate, immersive experiences in Umbria and the lesser known parts of Tuscany — designed for people who want more than sightseeing.
They include experiences to savor the Italian countryside, local wine tastings, local olive oil tastings, visit local farms, slow cooking classes and visits to small Umbrian towns off the beaten path.
We focus on connection, terroir, slow living, quiet luxury, and the sensory culture of Italian wine.
Every retreat is hosted in a restored property or boutique agriturismo. Group sizes are intentionally small to preserve depth and comfort.
Why are our retreats cheaper? no middlemen, no commissions, all planned by a local.
