This luxurious Tuscany retreat combines wine and wellness

This Tuscan hotel is offering a full rejuvenation retreat combining luxury, wellness and wine.

Some of the best wines in the world, picturesque rolling hills and an unrivalled artistic legacy: Tuscany has earned its reputation as one of the most beautiful and sophisticated places in the world. But what if you could combine two of its best features into one luxurious retreat? Enter the Wine & Wellness package at The Club House in the heart of Chianti Classico.

This sensory experience combines Tuscany’s deep-rooted wellness practices with the incredible food and wine this region is famous for. Guests embark on a journey that combines tailor-made holistic treatments, vine-based rituals, exclusive tastings at the nearby Vallepicciola winery and delicious dinners.

Most importantly (if you ask me), wine is at the centre of every element during the stay: from tastings, to Tuscan cuisine, to beauty rituals.

This Wine & Wellness retreat is the perfect way to experience Tuscany.

The accommodation

The package includes a two-night stay at, of course, The Club House: a boutique, adult-only (14+) hotel. Stay in one of just 15 rooms, converted from an old farmhouse. The building’s heritage is kept intact, with earthy tones and quaint decor epitomising the essence of the region. Outside the rooms, discover shared spaces for relaxing,

Either opt for total relaxation, or choose to move in a well-equipped gym, a dedicated yoga space, the tennis courts, a golf range and e-bikes for rental. Dive into the indoor pool – a bright oasis with hydromassage areas and heated water. Outside, another pool offers panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards and rolling hills.

Wellness

Also on-site, is The Club House’s Wellness Sanctuary, which Wine & Wellness package guests have full access to. Dedicated to wellness, this 400 sqm retreat is designed to restore harmony to body and mind as soon as they walk in the door, starting with a relaxing atmosphere and delicate scents.

Unwind in the tepidarium (the lukewarm room in Roman bathhouses) with a salt mist to purify and relax the body. Spend time in the sauna and experiential showers stimulate and revitalise. Or brave the ice fountain and Kneipp therapy to boost circulation. Take time before, after or in between to sip herbal teas in the wellness lounge.

Relax in the Wellness Sanctuary.

The package also includes a 60-minute ‘wine therapy’, harnessing the rejuvenating properties of grapes (and don’t worry, you’ll also get to harness those rejuvenating properties in the form of wine – more on that later). Wondering how that works?

Start with a relaxing drink and a personalised consultation. Then move onto a grape jam exfoliation to stimulate microcirculation, and then a nourishing massage using grape seed oil for deep hydration of the skin. A mist of grape water enriched with red vine extract ends the treatment, although guests can opt for an aromatic bath with vine leaves.

Spa sessions can be complemented with yoga, meditation or facial treatments.

Wine & dine

Enjoy two meals at Osteria Il.

What is a wellness retreat without also treating your taste buds? The Wine & Wellness package also includes two Tuscan-inspired dinners at Osteria Il Tuscanico (by chef Daniele Canella, who also runs Il Visibilio, a fine dining restaurant awarded a Michelin star). Enjoy Tuscan cuisine classics, from Pici Cacio e Pepe to Ombrina alla Livornese (Livornese-style sea bass) to Tagliata di Manzo (grilled Chianina beef).

Also enjoy a private tasting at Vallepicciola winery, nestled in the Tuscan hills. Maybe even take home some housemade wines, Champagne, spirits or oils when the tasting is over.
