The Classic Tasting
A guided walk through the Terralsole portfolio, Rosso, Brunello, Brunello Riserva, and a pour of estate olive oil.

Wine dinners, tastings, and classes. Hosted in Tuscany, on the road, and online.
Gatherings are the shorter-form version of what a retreat offers. A chance to meet Athena, taste her wines, and share a table with other Vivanti-in-spirit.
An evening. A tasting. A single afternoon in a cellar. A cooking class that sends you home cooking differently.
Whichever you choose, it is never a one-off. The gathering is where the rest of the journey begins.






Hosted evenings in Tuscany, Ocean Reef, and cities where the Vivanti gather. Four to six courses, five to seven wines, one long table.

Visit the winery itself. Classic tastings, private dinners at the estate, exclusive evenings. Hosted by Athena or by Mario, depending on the week.

In-person classes at Terralsole, virtual cooking sessions, and multi-day intensives. Seasonal, Tuscan, wine-pairing-led.
Four to six upcoming gatherings across all three types.

A guided walk through the Terralsole portfolio, Rosso, Brunello, Brunello Riserva, and a pour of estate olive oil.

A hands-on half-day class in the estate kitchen, fresh pasta, a seasonal ragù, and bistecca alla Fiorentina, always with wine.

An intimate dinner at the estate, paired with a curated flight of Terralsole wines. Twelve guests only.

A long table in downtown New York. Five courses, six wines, Athena at the head.

A ninety-minute virtual session on Zoom. Athena cooks alongside you, with pre-session ingredient list and wine-pairing notes.

Three vintages of Brunello Riserva, 2013, 2016, 2018, poured alongside a four-course Tuscan menu.

Athena hosts a small number of private dinners each year — for clubs, societies, and groups who want Tuscany to come to them. A curated wine list, a menu designed for the room, and the host who made the wine.
A single evening with Athena rearranged how I think about wine. I didn’t even realize I was being taught.
