Monteverdi, the medieval-era boutique hotel nestled within the rolling hills of the Val d’Orcia, is pleased to announce the 2025 slate of programming set to commence following the property’s re-opening in March. Guests can expect to experience an array of activities across culinary, arts, and wellness, allowing them to fully embrace the beauty and culture of Southern Tuscany.
Culinary Programming
- Oreade (Spring 2025) – A newly reimagined fine-dining concept at Monteverdi is coming Spring 2025 led by Executive Chef Riccardo Bacciottini (previously at Gordon Ramsay’s Maze and Renè Redzepi’s Noma). Oreade will be an intimate 14-cover restaurant which explores Tuscany’s endless culinary history – from its timeless flavors, aromas, and traditions that have shaped the land. Seasonal menus will reflect the region’s best ingredients and be complimented by a thoughtful selection of curated and rare wines. Reservations will open in March 2025 on The Fork.
- Chef in Residence with Chefs Nancy Silverton and Missy Robbins (November 11-16) – A five-night retreat for food lovers looking for a rare opportunity to experience the true flavors of Tuscany alongside some of the world’s best chefs. From November 11-16, guests can partake in a culinary workshop lead by award-winning chefs Nancy Silverton (Osteria Mozza, Pizzeria Mozza & chi SPACCA) and Missy Robbins (Lilia, Misi, MISIPASTA) where they will participate in chef-led dinners, intimate cooking demos, wine tastings, and private epicurean excursions like white truffle foraging and cheesemaking at a local sheep’s milk farm. Booking is now available at monteverdituscany.com.
- Culinary Academy – Featuring cooking classes, tastings, and seminars at the Culinary Academy, overseen by Executive Chef Riccardo Bacciottini. Located in the village’s former school building and led by engaging and passionate instructors, including Chef Emeritus Giancarla Bodoni, the academy invites participants to socialize and share with other guests. Make pasta, from tagliatelle to ravioli and pici, or how to prepare ricotta cheese with fresh, local milk, spreading it on warm sourdough bread in its cooking classes. Guests can join wine tastings led by an in-house sommelier, wine seminars that are hosted by the most iconic winemakers of the region, or can take part in olive oil and cheese tastings that guide guests on the aromas and flavors of Tuscany. Later this year, the academy will also add chef-led pastry classes.
Wellness Programming
