Known around the world as one of the oldest and most prestigious winemaking families, the Antinori family has been making wine in Tuscany for over 630 years. Spanning 26 generations, the family has always managed the business, making innovative and often courageous choices, always with an unwavering respect for both land and tradition. Two couples are invited to spend a magical week experiencing the Italian wine regions of Florence and Chianti.

Cradle of the Renaissance, romantic, enchanting, and utterly irresistible, Florence is a place to feast on world-class art, gourmet Tuscan cuisine, and incredible Old World wine. Begin your Italian wine tour with two nights at the St. Regis Firenze, nestled along the banks of the Arno River. Centrally located on Piazza Ognissanti, your accommodations will place you in the bustling heart of the city.

Travel to Chianti, home to Antinori's architecturally famous winery in Bargino, for four nights at Villa Le Calvane exploring the vineyards and cellars where the legendary Antinori family has been making wine for centuries. While in Chianti, Antinori's Tignanello Estate will host you for a tour of their famed vineyards and cellar as you taste through a range of their spectacular wines. During your time in Italy, you'll enjoy exclusive tours, special tastings, and a variety of wine-soaked culinary experiences as the Antinori family hosts you at some of their most infamous properties.

Always searching for the perfect terroir to expand their winemaking portfolio, the Antinori family has acquired a number of properties internationally over the years. The lucky winner of this lot will take home a five-year magnum collection of Antinori wines that represents the best expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Antinori family estates in Italy, Washington, and California.

When not exploring the vast empire of Italy's oldest winemaking family, spend your days enjoying all that Florence has to offer. Few cities are so compact in size or so packed with extraordinary art and architectural masterpieces at every turn. The urban fabric of this small city, on the banks of the Arno River in northeastern Tuscany, has hardly changed since the Renaissance. Its narrow cobblestone streets are a cinematic feast of elegant 15th and 16th century palazzi (palaces), medieval candle-lit chapels, fresco-decorated churches, marble basilicas, and world-class art museums brimming with paintings and sculptures by Botticcelli, Michelangelo, and many more.
