There’s a moment, between the end of September and the beginning of February, when Tuscany transforms.

The colors grow deeper, the landscapes quieter, and the wine seems to draw even closer to its essence. From autumn to winter, experiencing these seasons at Villa Le Buche Wine Estate, nestled among the hills of Sarteano, is something that stays with you.

There are no crowds, no rush. Only the slow rhythm of nature as it changes — first in the warm tones of autumn, then in the soft, hushed silence of winter.

The Harvest: An Ancient Dance Between Hands and Earth.

OLIVI - Le Buche

At Villa Le Buche Wine Estate, autumn begins with an age-old gesture — the cutting of the grapes.
Walking among the vines in the morning, you hear the quiet voices of the harvesters, smell the scent of damp soil, and feel the rustle of leaves turning to shades of copper.

Here, the harvest isn’t a show for visitors — it’s real life.

And yet, as a guest, you can experience it up close: touch, ask questions, listen. Watch the grapes turn into must, and then into wine. Step into the barrel room — over 200 French barriques — and breathe in the warm aroma of wood and fermentation, a scent that stays in your memory.

Winter: When Wine Tells the Story of Time.

As autumn gives way to winter, the vineyards rest and the cellars fill with the aromas of wine ready to be enjoyed.
Walking through bare rows of vines under gray skies or gentle snowflakes is almost magical — silence amplifies every detail, and every sip of wine speaks of patience, time, and care for the land.

When the Wine Is Ready… It’s Time to Taste.

OLIVI - Le Buche Winery
One of the joys of winter in Tuscany is savoring the vintages that have rested in our cellars.
At the estate, surrounded by stone walls and overlooking the vineyards, you can sit at the table with the people who imagined and created that wine.

Glass after glass, accompanied by aged pecorino cheese, local cured meats, and fresh bread with our extra virgin olive oil, you’ll discover that each bottle is a small journey through time and terroir.

And if you find your favorite, you can take a bit of Tuscany home — a memory of warmth and winter charm.

I giorni freddi? Perfetti nella nostra SPA.

SPA Villa Le Buche Wine Estate

C’è chi teme l’inverno per il freddo e la nebbia. Ma qui, quando il paesaggio esterno si perde in un abbraccio soffice e ovattato, la nostra SPA privata diventa un rifugio per l’anima, un luogo caldo e accogliente da condividere con la famiglia o con gli amici più cari.

Piscina coperta riscaldata con idromassaggio, sauna finlandese, bagno turco, docce emozionali e zona relax…
Fuori, l’aria frizzante; dentro, solo silenzio, calore e benessere.

Val d’Orcia: una poesia d’inverno.

Se c’è un luogo che in inverno sa davvero incantare, è la Val d’Orcia.
I cipressi tracciano curve perfette, mentre i borghi — Pienza, Bagno Vignoni, Montalcino — sembrano sospesi in un dipinto romantico. La luce invernale, fredda e cristallina, accarezza le colline con riflessi argentati, creando un’atmosfera di magia silenziosa.
E per gli amanti dello sci, una fuga verso il Monte Amiata regala giornate di pura emozione tra neve e panorami senza tempo.

Cammini, assaggi, respiri.

Ogni dettaglio invita a rallentare, a osservare, a vivere.

Una volta nella vita.

Tutti abbiamo un luogo che ci diciamo: “prima o poi ci andrò”.
Per molti, la Toscana in inverno è quel sogno.

A Villa Le Buche Wine Estate non troverai solo comfort, vino e paesaggi: troverai uno spazio per te, per riconnetterti con la natura, con i sapori autentici e con la bellezza semplice delle cose fatte con amore.

❄️ Una volta nella vita, devi vedere la Toscana in inverno. Forse questa è la tua occasione.
