Tuscany

A day between art and vines

Wine, medieval stone and contemporary art, scattered through the Chianti hills.

the day

Art and wine share the same pace here.

Nothing at Castello di Ama asks to be rushed. Vineyards lead naturally towards contemporary artworks, cellars become galleries, and conversations continue long after the tasting has finished. It's a day where every element feels connected, each discovery quietly leading to the next until the landscape itself becomes part of the experience.

The hamlet

Beyond the barrel room.

Spend the day wandering the stone lanes of Castello di Ama, where vineyards give way to centuries-old houses and striking works of contemporary art appear in the most unexpected places. Commissioned specifically for the estate, each installation has been created in conversation with its surroundings, making the village itself feel like an ever-evolving gallery rather than a destination defined by wine alone.

The collection

Where art and wine quietly converge.

Hidden beneath ancient vaults, inside historic buildings and tucked among the vineyards, you'll find site-specific works by artists including Anish Kapoor, Louise Bourgeois and Daniel Buren. Commissioned for Castello di Ama, each piece was created in response to its surroundings, inviting you to experience the estate through moments of quiet discovery rather than a traditional gallery visit.

The tasting

Wine, poured with the story behind it.

The day draws to a close with a guided tasting overlooking the vineyards, where the estate's Chianti Classicos and celebrated L'Apparita have become benchmarks of modern Tuscan winemaking. Paired with local produce and unhurried conversation, every glass feels connected to the landscape beyond it, bringing together the people, the place and the craftsmanship that define Castello di Ama.
