Experience Tuscany’s famous Brunello di Montalcino wine country. Touch down and enjoy a tour and wine tasting at Podere Le Ripi, where you learn about the biodynamic methods to create exceedingly rich (and exceptional!) wines.  After your visit and wine-tasting, continue by helicopter to the Michelin-starred restaurant “Silene.” After lunch, continue by helicopter to Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco for a second wine-tasting and visit. Set on a 5,000-acre estate founded by Massimo and Chiara Ferragamo. Return to Florence by private helicopter and on to your hotel by private vehicle.

Background
Meet your driver and transfer to Florence's airport to board your private helicopter to the Tuscan countryside. The elegant Podere Le Ripi boutique winery is owned by Francesco Illy, part of the Illy coffee group. With its spectacular views and unique approach, this winery is sure to be a highlight of your excursion today. Ristorante Silene has over one hundred years of history. It started out as a tavern, later becoming a restaurant; in the last 20 years, it has completed its natural course by way of gourmet cuisine. Silene maintains its own vegetable garden, created and cultivated for the restaurant, as well as overseeing the Daniel Spoerri Garden, where cuisine meets contemporary art. Wine during lunch is not included and is payable locally. Along with its 23 elegant suites and 11 exclusive villas, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco is a jewel in the Brunello di Montalcino wine region, features a winery, two restaurants, two bars, a spa, an organic kitchen garden, and a cooking school. The 18-hole golf course is Italy’s only private golf club set within a UNESCO World Heritage site.
