With Christmas approaching, Villa Dianella is a good place to think of a gift that is a little different from the usual: something that brings a piece of Tuscany, of the vineyard and of good food to whoever receives it. Whether it is a carefully chosen bottle, an experience to enjoy in the cellars or a stay still to be discovered, there is no shortage of ways to give a gift that tells the story of the estate.
Here are a few ideas, between buying in person, ordering online and experiences to give.
At Magazzino Dianella, in person
Magazzino Dianella is open Monday to Saturday, from 10:00 to 18:00 without a midday break: a space where you can buy the estate’s wines, the extra virgin olive oil, preserves, honey and the local farm produce of the estate. Here you can also have a personalised gift or a tasting box put together for you, choosing from the labels and products you like best.
Online at fattoriadianella.it
For anyone who would rather order from home, the online shop fattoriadianella.it offers the same selection of estate wines — from the Chianti DOCG to the Riserva labels, through to the whites and the Dianella sparkling wines — together with the organic extra virgin olive oil and the cosmetics of the Dianella line. Among the options there are also ready-made gift boxes, for those looking for a quick idea to send or to take along.
Giving an experience among vines and cellars
For those who love experiences more than objects, Villa Dianella offers wine tours with tasting: a guided visit to the historic tuff cellars, among the oak barrels and the ageing rooms, followed by a tasting of the estate’s wines paired with typical Tuscan produce, on the terrace looking out over the vineyards. The experience can be given with a voucher, to be booked later on whichever date suits best.
Giving a stay at the Wine Resort
The rooms of the Wine Resort are split between the villa and the former stables, and they carry the names of the twelve wines of the estate. Every room is different from the others, looking onto the Italian garden or the vineyards, with a refrigerated cabinet holding a selection of Dianella wines and a courtesy set based on the organic olive oil and grape must of the estate. A stay at Villa Dianella can be given as a gift by contacting the villa directly to arrange the dates.
Giving a dinner — or a brunch — at the Bistrot
For anyone who prefers something more convivial, you can give a dinner at the Bistrot delle Scuderie, on the terrace overlooking the vineyards, with the seasonal Tuscan cooking of Chef Alessio Bagnoli. As winter arrives, the Bistrot also tells its story at brunch, the new appointment that will accompany the cold season. Here too, the gift is arranged simply by contacting the villa.
