If you are looking for a fun and unusual wine tasting, this is the experience for you!

We developed the first Wine Sensory Game with the aim to create an uncomplicated and enjoyable method that allowed anyone to describe, and so understand, the wine characteristics.

Contrary to the traditional "passive" wine tasting, you and your palate will be the true protagonists of the tasting.

We will taste and analyze two different high-quality Tuscan wines, but initially, I will not give you any description. Instead, I will guide you through the sensory analysis, teaching you our alternative method that describes the wine as it were a "Season," a "Place" and an "Animal."

At the end of the experience, you will create your own "Wine Tale" that you will bring with you, as ​​a ​memory of this unique wine experience!

This experience follows the philosophy of conscious hedonism: without understanding, there can be no real pleasure. Hence the difference between "to consume" and "to savor.​​"

The tasting will be held by the cozy terrace of the Wine Lovers Academy, located in the historical center of Greve in Chianti.

Free parking available.

In case of bad weather or during the winter season, we will sit inside our tasting room.

In my village, Greve in Chianti, you can visit one of the most characteristic Food Market of Tuscany. The Greve's square host the Saturday market from about 1000 years!

I will introduce major themes in Tuscan cuisine and give you background in the evolution of this area as a wine & food center.

In the market, we will see, smell, and savor the fresh, locally-sourced meat and vegetables, cheeses, bread, and baked goods. We will discuss the importance of eating what is "di stagione" (seasonal). I will teach you some traditional Chianti recipes, simple and made with few ingredients, that I learned from my grandmother Anna.

Not just a look: after the market visit we will back at the Wine Lovers Academy, where we will have a tasting lesson about the traditional Tuscan food: from Pecorino cheese to the artisanal salami, Chianti Olive Oil, Honey, and truffle!

I'm waiting for you here in G​reve to let you discover all the secrets of our beautiful​ land!
