The countess’s lunch: wine tasting and signature cuisine
A refined lunch experience with wine pairings in an elegant setting
An experience designed for those who wish to enjoy lunch as a moment of pure beauty, where every detail celebrates the art of Tuscan hospitality. Upon arrival, an exclusive vehicle welcomes guests and gently accompanies them through the vineyard rows, along a scenic route leading to elegant and private indoor dining rooms, where natural light, tranquility and refined architecture meet wine and gastronomic excellence.
Within this sophisticated setting, each course is served in pairing with a glass from the selected wine collection, creating a journey that expresses the soul of Tuscany through flavor and identity. Throughout the experience, guests are guided through the story behind the labels of Donna Ava and her seven maidens, symbolic figures embodying strength, virtue and a timeless femininity.
Each wine represents a virtue, and each sip becomes a chapter in a story born from the land and elevated through elegance.
It is possible to book the lunch with a tasting of Arella, Firmina, Oletta, Lucilla and Aranda only, at a price of 35 euros per person.
