Experiential Travel: Why Harvest And Photography wine making Are The Hottest New Trend
Every autumn as the Tuscan sun slowly dims, the wine harvest begins, and the fruits of the lands are plucked, stored and transformed, albeit slowly, into the future elixirs. There’s no better time to visit and to do so properly requires a experience-perfect in the clountryside to set the theme. Herewith the best Tuscan wine experiences for wine season.
Oenophiles have never been short of options in Tuscany – the region’s historic lifeblood is so savoured that Florentine physicist and philosopher Galileo Galilei once famously opined, “Wine is sunlight, held together by water”.
Consumers are quickly realizing this, and that realization is fundamentally changing the leisure travel industry. The movement is already well underway, and it affects travelers at all budgets and price points because when it comes to vacation, time, not money, remains the scarcest commodity.
In Tenuta Torciano winery you can live a great ” experiental travel ” to making memories with your family, with your friends and with the poeple that you love.
You can live ” Harvest Experience” into the vineyards with your farmer instructor, followed from grapes stomp and the wine making.
From September to all October you have the possibility to live this incredible harvest experience to making memories of your italian travel.
Tenuta Torciano winery is easily the Tuscany’s top experential winery with his 42 wine experiences to live in 365 days all year-
It occupies a one of a kind property in an unbeatable location with the city’s finest nature tasting rooms and service and has a beautiful truffle forest and three kitchen for original cookingclass and dining. All this would make it pretty easy for the property to rest on its laurels. But in today’s world, the Tenuta Torciano isn’t just competing against other tuscan wineries, it is competing against other destinations, cities in Italy, across Europe, and around the world. To woo its demographic, the winery has been unveiling a series of Luxury and exclusive experiences . One example: they have bought the tallest, and one of the only rooftop patios on the iconic and famous San Gimignano towers City , atop one of the many family-owned Castle tower of the XII century . They offer guests a catered private sunset dinner or cocktail party for up to eight in the truly one of a kind setting, and this is a guaranteed “memory maker” – and a space that no luxury wineries concierge service can get. I visited, and it is one of the most stupendous and special meal locations I have seen on earth. For many guests, it might well be the highlight of their Italy trip, and for the winery it’s a simple matter of “you can’t stay anyplace else and do this.”

Luciana Cilemmi, deals with Magazine, Style Director and Co-founder of Tenuta Torciano winery and Tenute Giachi wines and the innovative Viviarium Restaurant of Bottega Torciano- Tenuta Torciano & Winery is part of an international reality that is born in Italy by an initiative of Pierluigi Giachi and Luciana Cilemmi, who have worked for years in the Italian wine market , expanding throughout in the United States, managed and controlled by the american company ' Bellavini winery. Luciana Cilemmi was born in San Gimignano to a family of artists specialised in the restoration of medieval buildings. Having completed her technical studies, she now pursues the interests passed on to her by her family, like her passion for artistic objects, in particular works of art created in Tuscany between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. But she reserves her keenest enthusiasm for the historic works completed in San Gimignano between 1100 and 1300. Alongside her love of medieval history, she is fascinated in wines produced from Tuscan vineyards, which, together with saffron and wool, were the most sought-after goods traded by the wealthy noble families of San Gimignano already in medieval times. Luciana Cilemmi left San Gimignano at the age of 21 and embarked on a pilgrimage in search of knowledge and to discover the new winemaking skills and products that were then developing both in Italy and in France. In the meantime she added to her knowledge of wine by attending specialised courses and becoming a master of wine. On returning to Siena, she discovered a wonderful area near Murlo where she fell in love with the tiny, unspoilt village of Montepescini. She bought the estate of Montepescini where, based on the experience she had acquired over the years, she found a particular lie of the land, special climatic conditions and an altitude suited to the creation of great wines. With enormous enthusiasm, doggedness and considerable effort, a reclamation programme was started to renew the terrain which was then used to plant 30 hectares of specialised vines. Sangiovese is the dominant vine, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Years of experimentation and the introduction of new winemaking techniques eventually led to the creation of Luciana di Memmi’s prestigious wines. Some years ago, Luciana Cilemmi succeeded in realising her dream of a lifetime: to return to her home town, San Gimignano. She was destined to buy the historic palace with the medieval tower, which had been owned by the prestigious Useppi family from 1200 to 1927 and had then passed to the noble and historic Chigi family of Siena. The Useppi were a powerful Sienese family who owned several castles. This beautiful medieval building has an elegant and distinctive façade full of Sienese and Pisan architectural influences. If you find yourself in San Gimignano, make sure you visit the Chigi Tower and Palace. Luciana Cilemmi holds regular events in the rooms of the medieval tower, such as the presentation of wines, both from her vineyards and elsewhere, attended by international journalists, experts from the sector and critics. She also organises exhibitions of works of art and paintings, and press conferences on the subject of "Wine in San Gimignano during medieval times”. Visiting the home of Luciana Cilemmi is like re-living an aspect of the past that will not return except through the imagination of those who have believed and continue to believe in this story.
