The celebration begins in the golden glow of Tuscany, as ELYSIAN welcomes you to Terre di Nano for an unforgettable sunset aperitivo. This historic 18th-century estate, nestled in the heart of the UNESCO-protected Val d’Orcia, is more than a country villa — it is a living farm that has been lovingly restored to preserve its heritage. Vineyards, olive groves, and woodlands stretch across nearly 50 hectares, offering a glimpse into the timeless rhythm of Tuscan life.
Here, the land provides not only beauty but abundance: wines crafted from Sangiovese, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes grown in the estate’s vineyards, and olive oil pressed from its ancient groves. Guests will savor these gifts of the farm, paired with locally sourced delicacies that speak to the flavors of the region. As you wander through the stone paths, surrounded by rolling hills that frame Montepulciano and Pienza in the distance, you’ll experience the warmth of a place that blends rustic charm with refined elegance.
As the sun dips behind the hills, casting the landscape in a golden haze, the evening becomes a celebration of reflection, connection, and the extraordinary beauty of Tuscany — a perfect setting for the Winter Holiday Reflections issue launch.
The second day invites guests to explore Tuscany at their own pace, where every moment has been thoughtfully designed to awaken the senses and captivate the spirit.
From invigorating experiences that quicken the pulse to quiet moments of reflection beneath golden light, the day balances energy, artistry, and serenity. There is something for everyone, allowing each guest to discover pleasures that resonate with their personal passions.
These extraordinary experiences could never be arranged independently—through ELYSIAN’s connections in the region and the unique gathering of guests celebrating the Winter Holiday Reflections launch, access has been secured to moments and opportunities that are truly once-in-a-lifetime.
Guests are encouraged to wander, savor, and discover, finding delight in the textures, scents, and colors that define the region. Each experience is an invitation to immerse fully in the essence of Tuscany—its landscapes, its flavors, and its timeless charm—ensuring that every guest uncovers a personal path of inspiration, wonder, and delight.
