Indulge in the ultimate golden retreat in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. Our 3-day 'Winemaker for a Day' experience at the prestigious Podere Montale Wine Resort offers an unparalleled blend of luxury, tradition, and oenological discovery. Nestled within the enchanting Valdorcia hills—a landscape defined by iconic cypress-lined avenues, silver-leafed olive groves, and rolling vineyards—this stay is designed to rejuvenate your senses.
Your home for these three days will be an elegant executive suite, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the Valdorcia valley. Wake up to the serenity of nature and enjoy a daily Italian and continental breakfast. Each evening, you will be treated to a refined dinner at our on-site restaurant, where the flavors of Tuscany take center stage.
This immersive journey goes beyond a simple stay. You will be granted exclusive access to our winery and vineyards for a professional 'Wine Odeon' experience. Learn the secrets of Sangiovese cultivation and production before indulging in a guided tasting of three classic Tuscan red wines. To elevate the experience, each wine is paired with authentic local delicacies, including artisanal focaccia, wild-farmed salami, aged sheep's milk cheeses, and our signature extra virgin olive oil.
Upon your arrival, your vacation begins with a warm welcome: a refreshing glass of our classic Podere Montale wine, served as an aperitif to toast the start of your Tuscan adventure. Whether you are exploring the ancient, beautifully renovated hamlet, lounging by the swimming pool, or wandering through the Parco degli Ulivi Millenari, every moment is curated for your comfort. This is more than a getaway; it is a deep dive into the soul of Italian winemaking.
Book your stay during the harvest season (September-October) to witness the winery at its most vibrant and active.
Pack comfortable walking shoes to fully explore the beautiful Parco degli Ulivi Millenari and the resort's sprawling vineyards.
Plan your arrival in the late afternoon to enjoy your welcome aperitif during the golden hour as the sun sets over the Tuscan hills.
Choosing our 3-day retreat means opting for an authentic, high-end experience that connects you directly to the land. Unlike standard hotel stays, Podere Montale offers a holistic immersion into the life of a winemaker. You aren't just visiting Tuscany; you are living its most cherished traditions. With the perfect balance of educational wine experiences, luxurious amenities, and the serene beauty of the Valdorcia, we provide a seamless, stress-free escape that highlights the very best of Italian hospitality and viticulture.
While Tuscany is beautiful year-round, spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) offer the most pleasant temperatures for exploring the vineyards and enjoying the outdoor pool.
Absolutely! Our Wine Odeon experience is designed to be accessible and engaging for everyone, from casual wine lovers to seasoned connoisseurs, with expert guidance provided throughout the tasting.
