To start, a visit to the Castiglion del Bosco Winery is a must and, when you’re there, you’ll have your choice of experiences, whether you want to take a signature wine tour visiting the vineyards and cellars, or you’d prefer a private tasting.

 

Want something slightly more exciting? The property will assist you in booking a helicopter tour taking you to multiple wineries, with a visit to a Michelin-starred restaurant for lunch.

If you can’t make it to Tuscany this month, you might want to spend Thanksgiving at the property instead. The property’s Thanksgiving experience includes a full itinerary of foodie-focused fun, including truffle hunting, cooking classes, wine tours and a Thanksgiving dinner.

 

Don’t want to spend the holidays away from the fam? While Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco does offer more than 40 suites, it is also home to 11 Tuscan villas that will easily fit the entire crew, each a restored 17th– and 18th-century farmhouse. Villas include heated pools, terraces and private gardens, for a luxury Thanksgiving getaway no one will soon forget.
