While the days are getting colder, we are looking back on this year’s grape harvest 🍇 The weather conditions of the last months limited the amount of grapes we were able to harvest, but that does not mean the wine won’t be at least as delicious as always! The quality of the grapes is outstanding, and as the ageing process has recently begun, we are so looking forward to taste our work of the last months. Remember, also you can order our precious “Casa”, “Orcia”, and not to forget our freshly squeezed, magical extra virgin olive oil. And if you order now, your purchase will gracefully arrive in time for Christmas, making it the ideal holiday gift for friends and family 🎁

Late fall in Val d’Orcia is like a cozy storybook. Days slow down, wrapped in warm colors. Sunsets turn into magical paintings, making the sky blush with beauty. It’s a quiet time, where nature takes a peaceful nap and a soothing calmness blankets the surroundings. 🧡

With colder days approaching we are looking back on some late summer memories. Tuscan farm life’s got this special something. It’s hard to explain it - you need to feel it. The pungent smell of pecorino cheese ageing, the sound of the geese honking, the taste of Carlo’s house wine that makes you feel at home, the feeling of travelling in time when entering Luciano’s vin santo and grappa room. And there are so many more senses and memories that will stay with you forever. 🤎

🍂 Autumn has arrived in Val d’Orcia, and time is moving on, just like a gentle breeze. In this beautiful chilly season, there’s nothing better than enjoying our freshly harvested olive oil.

This year, our olive groves faced some weather challenges, with excessive rain during the flowering phase and scorching summer heat, resulting in a slightly lower olive oil production. Despite these adversities, the plump and juicy olives have given us a reason to be grateful for Mother Nature’s bounty.

You may already know that Luciano and Carlo take great care of our 3,900 olive trees at Cretaiole and La Moscadella estates. They pick the olives at just the right time, ensuring they are pressed at a local mill, bottled, and stored under precise conditions – all managed by our family. We do this with pride, attention to detail, and respect for our land and traditions.
Our olive groves are certified organic, so the olive oil we offer has the same distinction.

Treat yourself, your family, friends, and colleagues to the gift of our Tuscan extra virgin olive oil! It’s not only a healthy part of the Mediterranean diet but it also adds exceptional flavor to your dishes. It truly enhances your culinary experiences.

If you would like to purchase our exceptional oil, please click on the link below to download the order form. This form has all the info on prices, quantities, and shipping details. Just fill it out and send it back to us via email. Your order will be delivered right to your door.

Act now, and we’ll make sure your Christmas gifts arrive on time!

Warmest regards and best wishes,

Isabella, Carlo, Luciano, Niccolò

La Dolce Vita - Around the World

We absolutely love everything our guests share about their adventures and memories with The Isabella Experience with their friends, families, and other people around the world. Aletta and Johan from Texas, USA, two of our very dear returning guests, have written about their experiences with The Isabella Experience in their blog entries. While some things have changed over the last years, our love, passion and dedication for hospitality remained the same - and Aletta captures this perfectly in her Tuscan stories about our way of sharing La Dolce Vita with our guests:

Pecorino di Pienza 🧀

…a true gem among sheep cheeses, owes its distinctiveness to the lush pastures surrounding Pienza. Nestled in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Tuscany's Val d’Orcia, the contented sheep roam freely, savoring nature's bounty. These pastures are adorned with three special herbs: artemisia, barbabecco, and mentastro, creating an ideal environment for crafting this unique cheese.

These herbs infuse the milk with flavors that mirror our unique terroir, resulting in a cheese that's truly one of a kind. The secret to our exceptional cheese lies in centuries-old Italian traditions and cheese-making wisdom.

As the cheese matures, its character evolves, influenced by the sheep's diet. Grazing on pastures yields robust flavors, while a cereal-based diet results in a more delicate profile. In the heart of Pienza, Pecorino remains a testament to nature's bounty and the artistry of cheese making.

The Power of Small Gestures in Hospitality

We have been delighted to hear from our guests how much they appreciate the attention to detail, and the genuine care that permeate our work. It is these little things that make them feel truly special and well taken care of. Each one of us contributes to this atmosphere of care, and it is precisely what sets us apart.
Indeed, the magic lies within the little things. At first, they might not reveal their impact immediately. However, as if guided by an invisible hand, they blossom and flourish.
In my own work I have come to cherish the significance of small actions. It is through honoring these seemingly inconspicuous details that we truly understand the joy within.
Happiness, it seems, is an exquisite mosaic woven from hundreds of these precious moments. They hold immense influence and effects on our well-being, our interactions, and the world around us.
It turns out that the little things are not small at all; they are immense in their significance.

Hands are the heart‘s landscape - Pope Francis

Val d’Orcia’s locals and chefs alike understand the significance of feeling the ingredients and their soil, using their hands to knead dough, pick greens, and unearth truffles. The simple act of connecting with the land and its raw, pure ingredients is a reminder that we can find meaning in simplicity and that taking the time to appreciate the natural world can enhance our connection to food and the world around us. It helps us take a step back and find serenity in the simple moments of life.
