A special weekend to celebrate the local community and experience Borgo Santo Pietro’s own wine production 1-3 October 2021
Chiusdino August 2021 – Join Borgo Santo Pietro’s wine harvest weekend this October for an authentic epicurean experience dedicated to the luxury farm they initiated 20 years ago. This special weekend will consist of 3 days in the Tuscan countryside in connection with nature, relaxing in good company and tasting Borgo Santo Pietro’s biological wines: 2019 rosè, 2020 white wine with chardonnay and viognier varieties and 2020 rosé with black canaiolo varieties.
As part of “la dolce vita” that exudes from the Borgo Santo Pietro lifestyle, guests are invited to explore the estate, visit the animals and even partake in a traditional Tuscan cuisine course at the Borgo Cooking School.
The harvest weekend culminates on Sunday when guests will work alongside the vignerons to pick plump grapes by hand before enjoying a well-earned Tuscan feast produced by Borgo’s Michelin-star chefs at long family tables set up under a large oak tree that provide sweeping views of the estate’s wine fields while being heralded by the notes of local musicians.
