About this trip
Indulge your senses in a week of yoga, farm-to-table food and Italian wines.

Afternoon Restorative practices will refresh your energy, while guided yoga nidra meditation enlivens your senses. Heightened awareness of the senses prepares you perfectly for sunset wine tastings on the veranda. Tasting with sommelier Emily Dusseau is elegance in a glass! Glean from her vast wine knowledge, hone your palate, and enjoy the calm of inner peace as you watch the evening settle over the rolling hills of Tuscany. Rest deeply in the quiet nights of our beautiful 14th century farm house that has been restored to modern day comfort. Bring a friend, a lover, or come alone and connect with like-minded people.
