Flight To Luxury with Torciano Wine

Once again Tenuta Torciano had the honor of sponsoring Flight To Luxury, the yearly event that brings together Colorado's most charitable citizens for food, drinks, music, fashion, private aircraft and, at the heart of the evening, a charity auction for Pivot, the non-profit founded by John Elway, Larry Mueller and George Solich to invest in Colorado's next generation.

Pivot envisions a future where Colorado's youth can thrive in every part of their lives, bridging the gaps to give them full access to quality education, mental wellness, nutrition and career readiness.

The event, organized as always by Cuvèe, took place last Friday, September 14th, at Denver's Centennial Airport, a beautiful location dedicated to jets and private aircraft. In one of the two hangars, guests were welcomed with the usual red carpet, champagne, photo booth, musical entertainment, luxury cars, private jets and tastings from the best restaurants in Denver.

Wines poured for Colorado's philanthropists

Tenuta Torciano, sponsor of the evening, ran its own stand, serving guests some of the estate's best wines, chosen especially for the occasion. The guests of Flight To Luxury tasted the estate's most important luxury wines, including the special leather reserves, the Terrestre gold, the Brunello Gioiello 2011 reserve and all the Super Tuscans, before taking part in the evening's main event: the charity auction for Pivot.

It was a very special night, with special guests such as Peyton Manning, Emmanuel Sanders and many others, for an auction full of wonderful and exclusive prizes donated by Cuvèe and all the other sponsors.

Tenuta Torciano offered an exclusive dinner in the Chigi Tower of San Gimignano and a horseback excursion, as part of a five-day package in Tuscany in one of the extra-luxury villas owned by Cuvèe. The auction was a great success: two of the packages were sold.

The evening also included two fashion shows between auctions, and ended with the usual ball-throwing to the audience by American football legend Peyton Manning. Every reception meant another donation to Pivot.

It was truly a great honor for us to take part in such an important event, bringing our wines and our activities in Tuscany to help the neediest people and the Pivot association of Colorado. For once, it wasn't the Tenuta Torciano Wine School, just a charity action — and that was amazing.

See you next year!
