TUSCANY
From September 16–19, we will take over the storied hamlet of Borgo Finocchieto, reserved exclusively for our guests, and settle into Brunello country life: from long lunches to late-night storytelling around the table, this is the particular kind of magic the Italians effortlessly create.
Hosted alongside Michelin-starred chef Roberto Rossi, the experience blends regional culinary traditions, shaped by local chefs and farmers, with the spirit of an elegant house party among friends.
Days unfold according to mood rather than itinerary: hot air balloons drifting over vineyards, Vespas winding through cypress-lined roads, horseback adventures, truffle hunts, spa afternoons, e-bikes, olive oil tastings, and private visits to celebrated Montalcino estates for Brunello tastings from a distinctly local point of view.
Evenings return everyone to the table for candlelit feasts, generous wine pours, surprise musical performances, and entertainment that stretches through the night. Dinner invitations are extended to our local network as well.
There will also be excursions beyond the Borgo - to Siena’s hidden corners, the pecorino shops and sweeping views of Pienza, ancient abbeys, hilltop villages, and the winding back roads that make Tuscany feel cinematic.

One destination each day is often enough. Leave room for the unexpected the finest memories of Southern Tuscany are rarely the ones that appear on the itinerary.
Chef Roberto Rossi
Chef Roberto Rossi, the Michelin-starred chef behind Tuscany’s beloved Il Silene, brings a rare blend of deep tradition and bold creativity to every dish he touches. Known for his mastery of local ingredients - from hand-foraged herbs to heritage meats and impossibly fresh vegetables - Rossi cooks with the soul of a storyteller and the precision of a craftsman. His cuisine is rooted in centuries-old Tuscan techniques yet feels modern, expressive, and full of heart. When Chef Rossi steps into the Borgo kitchen, expect an unforgettable evening of flavor: rustic elegance, wood-fired magic, and plates that taste like the very essence of Tuscany.
Poolside
Slip into full vacation mode at the Borgo’s panoramic pool - where the water is cool, the views are endless, and doing absolutely nothing somehow feels like a cultural experience. Sunbathe, float, sip a spritz, or nap under the cypress trees while Tuscany shows off in every direction. It’s effortless, golden-hour gorgeous, and exactly the kind of soft-life indulgence Savienne does best.
Up, Up, Tuscany!
Watch Tuscany wake up from the sky as your hot air balloon lifts off right from the Borgo’s grounds. Drift above rolling vineyards, medieval villages, and that soft morning mist that makes everything look like a Renaissance painting. It’s peaceful, surreal, and wildly romantic - the kind of moment that turns into a lifelong brag. Champagne on landing, of course.
Tuscan Road Rally
Spend the day winding through the Tuscan countryside behind the wheel of vintage Italian sports cars, passing cypress-lined roads, hilltop villages, and endless vineyard views.
Tuscan Olive Harvest & Picnic
Spend the afternoon at the legendary Bea olive groves, walking the orchards with the farmers who have tended them for generations. Pick olives straight from the trees, learn the craft behind Tuscany’s finest oils, then settle into a long Tuscan picnic in the grove with local wines, fresh bread, and dishes built around the morning’s harvest.
Brunello & Bliss
Journey into the heart of Brunello country for a private tasting at one of Montalcino’s iconic wineries - the kind of estate where vines roll for miles and every barrel has a story. Wander through cellars, sip rare vintages, and learn why Brunello is basically Tuscany’s love language. Think sweeping views, generous pours, and that warm, fuzzy “should we move here?” feeling. It’s equal parts education, indulgence, and pure Savienne joy.
Tuscan Truffle Quest
Head into the Tuscan woods with expert truffle hunters and their impossibly talented dogs, following earthy scents and secret forest paths in search of Tuscany’s most prized treasure. You’ll learn the lore, dig up a few gems, and taste them right where they were found — fresh, aromatic, and wildly indulgent. It’s part adventure, part culinary fantasy, and a delicious way to experience Tuscany from the ground up.
Hills, Horses, Heaven
Saddle up for a sun-soaked ride through the Tuscan countryside, wandering along cypress-lined trails, golden fields, and vineyard vistas that look like they were painted just for you. Local guides lead the way as your horse carries you through storybook landscapes at the perfect, peaceful pace. It’s dreamy, cinematic, and one of the most effortless ways to fall in love with Tuscany - a pure dose of easygoing joy in the open air.
Bocce, Banter, Borgo
Challenge your friends to the most charmingly competitive sport Tuscany has ever gifted the world. At the Borgo’s bocce court, you’ll sip wine, toss balls with questionable technique, and loudly claim victory even when the evidence disagrees. It’s low-stakes, high-laughs, and somehow becomes the highlight of the day — especially when the Brunello kicks in. It’s sunshine, friendly chaos, and pure good vibes - the ultimate Borgo pastime.
