New experiences at COMO Castello Del Nero in Tuscany

COMO Castello Del Nero, the 12th-century castello set within 740 acres amidst the rolling hills of the Chianti region, is extending its opening to 1st December, enabling guests to experience Tuscany’s autumnal splendour through a curated collection of new experiences.

As the air turns mild and the leaves begin to scatter, the Italian countryside comes alive in a kaleidoscope of colour. A veritable feast for the palate, this is the season that boasts porcini, chestnut and freshly pressed olive oil, all of which take centre stage on the menus of the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, La Torre. Showcasing the abundant white truffle that graces the region year after year, the Truffle Festival of San Miniato is just a short drive away and takes place on the second, third and fourth weekend of November.

Immersing guests in the autumnal setting and offering hands-on experience with the region’s bountiful produce, COMO Castello Del Nero’s new programmes include a masterclass in Chianti wine-making and an olive oil harvesting experience, plus a Thanksgiving celebration with a cooking class led by Michelin-starred Executive Chef, Giovanni Luca Di Pirro.
