Arrival in Bolgheri
Settling into your chosen residence among the vineyards and cypress avenues of the Tuscan coast — the first hours yours, unhurried.
Beyond ExperiencesBolgheri — Le Macchiole.
Obsessive masters who shape everything — wine, clothes, boats, pasta, spirit — to measure. Four days along the Tuscan coast among the houses that made Bolgheri, in the company of those who still pursue precision as a way of life.

Settling into your chosen residence among the vineyards and cypress avenues of the Tuscan coast — the first hours yours, unhurried.
A rustic yet elegant restaurant set amid the vineyards of Bolgheri, celebrated for its exceptional grilled meats — including a legendary Fiorentina — cured salumi produced in-house, and an extraordinary wine list featuring Bolgheri's most prestigious labels. The evening includes a visit to the estate's own butchery and to the Torre dell'Elettricità, a former ENEL electricity tower converted into the restaurant's private wine vault, where three floors are dedicated exclusively to the ageing of Masseto, Ornellaia and Sassicaia, alongside a selection of cheeses and cured meats.

Founded in 1983 by Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli, Le Macchiole is regarded as the boutique of Bolgheri — one of the estates that helped establish the region's reputation alongside Sassicaia and Ornellaia. The visit offers an intimate look into the winery's philosophy of pure varietal expression, followed by a tasting of its iconic labels, including Paleo, Messorio and Scrio.
A refined lunch hosted within the estate itself, pairing the winery's celebrated wines with a menu that reflects the character and elegance of the Bolgheri terroir.
An afternoon dedicated to the art of made-to-measure — a fitting session with a master tailor, embodying the very spirit of Su Misura.
A seaside counterpart to the same acclaimed house, offering the freshest catch alongside Osteria Magona's renowned wine cellar, in a setting overlooking the Tuscan coast.

Founded by Lido Filippi on the Tuscan coast near Donoratico, Cantieri Filippi is renowned for building racing shells shaped like haute couture — each hull tailored to the individual athlete who will row it. The yard is a byword for Italian craftsmanship, having equipped a large share of the boats competing at the highest levels of international rowing, and remains a family-run pursuit of speed, precision and beauty through the innovative use of carbon fibre. Add-on: a boat outing, or a workshop on carbon fibre craftsmanship.
A visit to this organic estate near Bolgheri and Bibbona, where owner Rita Salvadori cultivates some of the finest chili varieties in the world across sun-drenched fields near the Tyrrhenian coast. The experience includes a walk through the chili fields, a sensory tasting journey paired with cheese and honey, and a private showcooking session accompanied by wines from Le Macchiole and a menu built around the day's seasonal offerings.
A beautifully restored 18th-century Tuscan farmhouse just a few kilometres from Bolgheri, where an elegant yet informal osteria serves refined seasonal cuisine rooted in local tradition, complemented by an exceptional cellar of regional wines.

Choose the closing note of the journey — each a different way to read the land and its hand-made traditions.
A scenic ride through the vineyards and centuries-old oak woods of the Via Bolgherese, culminating on the legendary Viale dei Cipressi — the arrow-straight, five-kilometre avenue lined with over two thousand cypress trees that inspired Giosuè Carducci's celebrated poem Davanti a San Guido, linking the Oratory of San Guido to the medieval gates of Bolgheri.
A hands-on lesson in the art of Tuscan pasta, guided by expert hands through traditional dough, shapes, and sauces — a fitting, convivial close to a journey built on craftsmanship.
A journey into the Maremma countryside to one of Italy's most celebrated artisan distilleries, where master distillers still practice the century-old craft of grappa-making by hand — selecting only the freshest grape pomace, cutting heads, hearts, and tails with precision, and ageing the spirit for years in barrique. The visit includes a guided tasting through the distillery's celebrated range,.
