Resort Immerses Travelers in Tuscan Wine Traditions with Exclusive Access to Annual Unveiling of One of the World’s Most Sought-After Wines
October 17, 2018
Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, the bucolic Tuscan resort founded by Massimo and Chiara Ferragamo, today announces the Benvenuto Brunello Package. For the second year in a row, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco will offer enophiles an immersive cultural experience centered around the annual unveiling of the region’s Brunello di Montalcino wine. Available to book February 15-19, the three-night package includes accommodations in one of the property’s eleven villas and access to the Benvenuto Brunello event in the nearby town of Montalcino, where guests can sample the newest local wine varieties and meet the Italian vintners, as well as several intimate tasting experiences at Castiglion del Bosco’s on-property winery.
“While the fall harvest season is well-known among travelers as an exciting time to visit Tuscany, the annual unveiling of the Brunello is another incredible time to discover the region’s wine culture, and has not been discovered by as many travelers,” said Davide Bertilaccio, managing director of Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco. “With the Benvenuto Brunello Package, we are offering travelers a very special way to immerse themselves in Tuscan wine traditions, all while enjoying the pristine beauty of the surrounding region from the comfort of our luxurious villas.”
Upon arrival, guests will find their villa well-stocked with an abundance of locally-sourced groceries perfect for enjoying fireside with a glass of the estate Brunello di Montalcino. With the assistance of a dedicated concierge, guests can coordinate a variety of different activities in their villa and the surrounding area. The concierge can assist with arranging excursions to nearby Tuscan cities like Siena, Florence, San Gimignano, Montalcino, the Val d’Orcia and the Chianti areas as well as shopping trips and private tours of the region’s tranquil scenery by horseback, bike, Ferrari, hot air balloon or helicopter.
