The program

One valley. 5 unforgettable days.

The standard program is fully self-contained. Accommodation, all meals, house wine, beer and guided experiences are included from the moment your group arrives to the moment you leave. Everything tastes better in the Casentino.

Day 1

The Taste of Tuscany

Aperitivo: The fire pits are burning. The first bottles of Chianti Classico are uncorked, accompanied by local cheeses.

Pizza Night: Authentic pizzas from the wood-fired oven.

Closing by the large campfire with ice-cold Limoncello.

Day 2

Craftsmanship, Wood & Chianina

Salsiccia Workshop: Getting your hands dirty with meat at Fabrizio’s. Head-to-tail butchering with meat from the Grigio del Casentino pig.

Woodworking Workshop in ‘De Den’: Under the guidance of the craftsman, you will work with local wood to make your own Tagliere (serving board) for home.

Wellness: Relaxation in the wood-fired hot tub and the invigorating cold water bath.

The Butcher’s Dinner: An ode to the region with the legendary Bistecca Chianina from the grill, Fabrizio’s sausages and chops, served with a powerful, aged Barolo.

Day 3

The Peaks of the Apennines

Full Day | E-MTB Tour: Ride an electric mountain bike through the rugged Apennines with an experienced guide. Challenging yet accessible.

Lunch | La Verna: A rustic stop at a hidden mountain hut near the famous monastery for an authentic mountain meal.

Evening | A lighter, seasonal meal to give the muscles a rest, naturally accompanied by matching wines.

Day 4

Culinary Gold & Pittcooking

Truffle Hunt: Head into the forest with Nicola and his dogs. The thrill of the find is unparalleled.

Pittcooking: The found truffles go straight over the open fire. A raw, outdoor culinary experience.

Free time to enjoy the tranquility of the valley.

Grand Finale: An elaborate 5-course gastronomic farewell dinner featuring the best wines from the cellar one last time.

Day 5

The Last Espresso

A quiet final breakfast on the terrace (or by the fireplace), a final good espresso, and departure.

Make it yours.

Who is it for?

This weekend is NOT for you if:

  • You don’t enjoy getting a little muddy on a hike

  • Sleeping in a quiet valley feels too far from civilization

  • The idea of learning to butcher a pig makes you uncomfortable

  • Grilling meat over an open fire sounds like too much work

  • Sitting around a long table with wine and stories isn’t your thing

  • You’d rather stay home than spend a weekend outdoors with your friends

It is for people who miss that feeling of being at camp, running around outside all day, cooking together, and laughing late into the night around a fire. Just with better food, better wine, and a Tuscan valley all to yourselves.

What’s included?

  • Accommodation in the Novanta valley

  • All meals

  • House wine, beer and drinks

  • Guided experiences

  • Butchering workshop

  • Hiking and outdoor activities
