ICONIC MUSIC EXPERIENCE - WEEK 2 PéROGRAM
VISIT AND LUNCH AT CANTINE ANTINORI, Pick up at 10.00 – duration: 5 hrs.
Visit a private wine estate and cellar, enjoy a guided tasting paired with Tuscan cuisine
This winery is an architectural masterpiece, a place where tradition and innovation coexist in perfect harmony, it was built entirely with local materials—terracotta, wood, and natural tones that reflect a deep respect for the Tuscan landscape and the family’s centuries-old bond with the land, dating back to the 1400s.
Carved into the hillside and almost invisible from the outside, the cellar is both fascinating and highly innovative: designed for gravity-flow vinification, it naturally maintains a constant temperature of 14°C year-round, eliminating the need for heating or cooling and ensuring ideal conditions for wine production and aging.
From its panoramic terrace, the estate overlooks the rolling Chianti countryside, with vineyards planted with Sangiovese and other historic varietals—an authentic tribute to the beauty and heritage of this land.
