Divino Tuscany in Florence, Italy from June 2 – 5, 2011, is an unprecedented celebration of Tuscany’s finest winemakers that will bring together the top wine professionals from around the world.
Fifty wine producers, hand-picked by eminent wine critic and Tuscan wine expert James Suckling, will join forces for the first time in history during a four-day event filled with exclusive tastings, master classes and gala dinners in Florence’s most prestigious Palazzi.
Highlights will include grand tastings featuring top-rated wines from both newer and older vintages, poured by the winemakers and proprietors themselves, who will promote, share and demystify their wines. Grand dinners hosted in private Palazzi by the most well-known Tuscan wine families and estates including Antinori, Frescobaldi, Mazzei, Ferragamo, Corsini, and Banfi to name a few, will provide a unique setting of access to these normally private estates.
Participants will have the privilege of attending tutored tastings led by James Suckling at the gorgeous Palazzo Capponi, complemented by his guest panelists and experts. The event will close with a relaxed country lunch featuring a traditional Tuscan pig roast hosted by Sting and Trudie Styler at their private villa just outside Florence, Il Palagio.
