Lunch & Winery Tour at a Noble Tuscan Estate
A Tuscan Winery Tour Like No Other
Step into the timeless beauty of Chianti’s countryside at Villa le Corti, the historic estate of the noble Corsini family. This exclusive Artviva experience blends fine wines, history, and Tuscan cuisine in one unforgettable day. Walk through sunlit vineyards, descend into centuries-old cellars, and enjoy a leisurely lunch where every course pairs perfectly with estate wines.
The Essence of Tuscan Elegance
What makes this experience truly exceptional is its setting. Villa le Corti isn’t just a winery, it’s a living chapter of Tuscan heritage. Surrounded by ancient cypress trees and gentle hills, the estate reflects 400 years of passion for winemaking. Here, modern excellence meets timeless tradition, offering an authentic glimpse into noble Tuscan life.
A Journey Through Wine, History, and Flavor
Your day begins in the heart of Chianti: an expert guide welcomes you with insights into the estate’s history and the Corsini family’s deep connection to the land. Stroll among the vines, then descend into the cool underground cellars constructed in 1600 and still fully functional today. Learn about every phase of winemaking, from fermentation to barrel aging, before entering the grand orciaia, one of Chianti’s largest historic olive oil storage rooms. The experience culminates with a guided tasting and an elegant four-course Tuscan lunch paired with the estate’s award-winning wines.
Centuries of Craftsmanship at Villa le Corti
The cellars beneath Villa le Corti are an engineering marvel that anticipated modern agricultural practices by three centuries. Moving production from farmers’ homes into a central facility revolutionized wine and olive oil making. Today, these same vaulted cellars continue to produce fine wines and extra virgin olive oil. Above ground, the estate’s villa and gardens reflect the refinement and grace that have long defined Tuscan nobility.
