Two couples will spend a full week exploring the wine, food and lifestyle of the Chianti and Montalcino regions, focused on the estates of Elisabetta Gnudi.

The hamlet of Borgo Scopeto dates back to 1079, and the property gradually changed from a military settlement into a producer of wine and olive oil. Elisabetta Gnudi realized her lifelong dream of becoming a vintner when she purchased Borgo Scopeto in 1997. She transformed it into one of Tuscany’s most beautiful and luxurious resorts and built a new cellar for making and aging the wine. In the years that followed, she bought two prominent estates in her “first love” of Montalcino, Caparzo and Altesino.

The winning bidders’ party will stay in Relais Borgo Scopeto’s Executive Suites, a sumptuous retreat with views of Siena, the countryside and the main square. You’ll savor multi-course meals in the resort’s restaurants and taste Borgo Scopeto wines ranging from Chianti Classico Riserva to the Super Tuscan Borgonero and the traditional dessert wine of Vin Santo. One dinner will even feature a reenactment of the Palio, the most famous Italian horse race—a heart-pounding, 90-second display of bareback riders representing different areas of the city.

Wellness is one of the focuses of the resort, and each member of your party will experience two spa treatments—a relaxing massage and the Bacchus Bath, a restorative session in a private jacuzzi with grape essences. In your spare time, visit one of the Contrada (neighborhood) museums of Siena, each containing curiosities and treasures native to the area.

Your introduction to the glories of Brunello di Montalcino begins at Caparzo, one of the first wineries founded in the region. Experience the unique Le Grance (a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Traminer), the Vigna la Casa and Riserva Brunellos, and the Cá del Pazzo, a combination of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. You’ll also visit neighboring Altesino, the pioneer of the Cru concept in Brunello, best known for its single vineyard Montosoli first created in 1975.

Even though you’ll have to return home, Tuscany will remain with you when you receive an amazing collection of wines for your cellar. Each couple will enjoy bottles of Borgo Scopeto Chianti Classico DOCG and Gran Selezione, Large Formats of Caparzo Brunello Vigna la Casa and a vertical of 750ml bottles, as well as a three-vintage vertical of Altesino Montosoli.

Indulge in the beauty of the Tuscan countryside and help our neediest children at the same time—bid high for an experience that will change everyone’s lives.
