There’s a moment, between late September and early February, when Tuscany transforms.

The land drifts into slumber, the landscapes grow quieter, and the wine reveals its deepest essence. From autumn to winter, Villa Le Buche Wine Estate invites you to discover a beauty that is both unusual and unexpected.

No crowds, no rush—just the slow rhythm of nature as it changes: first bathed in the warm hues of autumn, then embraced by the hushed stillness of winter.

The Harvest: an ancient dance between hands and earth.

OLIVI - Le Buche

At Villa Le Buche, autumn begins with an age-old ritual: the grape harvest. Strolling through the vineyards in the morning, you hear the soft voices of the harvesters, the earthy scent of damp soil, and the gentle rustle of leaves turning copper.

Here, harvest isn’t just a tourist spectacle—it’s life itself. As a guest, you can experience it up close: touch, ask questions, listen. Step into the barrel room with over 200 French barrels, and let the warm scent of wood and fermentation linger in your heart.

Winter: the wine whispers the passage of time.

When autumn yields to winter, the vineyards rest and the cellars fill with the aromas of wines already perfected. Walking among bare vines, under gray skies and light snowflakes, is almost magical: silence magnifies every detail, and every sip of wine tells a story of patience, time, and care.

When the wine is ready… it’s time to taste.

OLIVI - Le Buche Winery

One of Tuscany’s winter joys is savoring vintages that have rested in our cellars. Surrounded by stone walls and vineyard views, you can sit at the table with the people who conceived and crafted the wine.

Glass after glass, accompanied by aged pecorino, local cured meats, and fresh bread drizzled with our extra virgin olive oil, each bottle becomes a journey through time and terroir. Find your favorite, and take home a piece of Tuscany—a warm winter memory.

Cold weather? Relax and warm up in our SPA.

SPA Villa Le Buche Wine Estate

Some shy away from winter for the cold and fog. But here, when the landscape outside melts into a soft, muffled embrace, our private SPA becomes a sanctuary for the soul—a warm, inviting space to enjoy with family or close friends.

Heated indoor pool with hydromassage, Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, sensory showers, and relaxation area…
Outside, crisp air; inside, only silence, warmth, and well-being.

Val d’Orcia in winter: a poem of the season.

If there’s a place that truly enchants in winter, it’s Val d’Orcia.
Cypresses trace perfect curves, while villages—Pienza, Bagno Vignoni, San Quirico, Montalcino—appear suspended in a romantic painting. The winter light, cold and crystalline, caresses the hills with soft reflections, creating an atmosphere of quiet magic.
And for ski enthusiasts, a trip to Monte Amiata offers days of pure thrill amid snow and timeless panoramas.

Walk, taste, breathe. Every moment invites you to slow down, take it in, and savor.

Everyone has that thought: “I’ll get there sooner or later.”
Winter in Tuscany is that dream come true.

At Villa Le Buche Wine Estate, you’ll find more than comfort, wine, and landscapes: you’ll find a space for yourself, to reconnect with nature, authentic flavors, and the simple beauty of things made with love.

❄️ Even in winter, Tuscany is magical.
