THE ULTIMATE TUSCAN WINE WEEKEND MARCHESI ANTINORI Saturday 3rd / Sunday 4th July 2021
Join Club Vivanova on an exclusive, limited and exceptional wine weekend in the heart of Tuscany with Marchesi Antinori.
A story passed down through twenty six generations - the Antinori family has been committed to the art of winemaking for over six centuries since 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the “Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri”, the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild. All throughout its history, the Antinori family has managed the business directly making innovative and sometimes bold decisions while upholding the utmost respect for traditions and the environment.
Our exceptional weekend showcases excellence in Tuscan gastronomical culure and hospitality with four wine tasting experiences including the Tenuta Tignanello Estate degustation, the Montalcino Lunch, the Michelin Star Tuscan Coast Dinner and the Chianti Classico Sunday Lunch, with an overnight stay at the Fonte de Medici Country Resort - a sensational and unique experience, presented exclusively by Club Vivanova.
