Under The Tuscan Sun

Agriturismo Brolioquinto

We have chosen a magical farmhouse contoured by 100 red holm oaks and a rose garden as the setting for our June 6-12, 2021, Wine & Wellness yoga retreat in Tuscany. Its elegant charm and serene atmosphere make it the perfect setting for tranquility and transformation. Located 20 minutes outside of Cortona—the setting of  “Under The Tuscan Sun”—Agriturismo Brolioquinto is also near the famous wine regions Chianti and Montepulciano.

Only the Best

Nature & Nurture

The beautiful stone farmhouse, built in the 19th century, features panoramic views of Cortona and the Chiana Valley, a beautiful natural environment characterized by low hills, each concealing an endless variety of landscapes. Our yoga retreat is surrounded by vineyards, fruit trees, and traditional gardens, so we will have the opportunity to dine on inventive local cuisine with a Gaia Gourmet flair.

A Week to Remember

Wine & Wellness

This week-long Wine & Wellness retreat in Tuscany happens only once a year! It begins on Sunday, June 6, 2021. We invite you to arrive at our villa any time after 3 pm, so you can join the delectable welcome dinner Sunday evening. Each weekday you’ll sweat and flow with a morning Lakshmi Rising Hatha Vinyasa class. You’ll have a single or double room in the Brolioquinto farmhouse, and enjoy curated cultural and culinary experiences in this famous wine-producing region, until your departure on Saturday, June 12, after breakfast.

Tuscany’s unparalleled fusion of history, nature, and food offers the ideal location for a serene immersion into yoga—with some fabulous adventures to boot! Optional excursions include a visit to a boutique biodynamic vineyard and winery featuring a vegetarian lunch and wine pairing; a day trip to Cortona including a special visit to the Molesini & Sons Wine Market; an outing to Terme San Giovanni thermal spa; truffle hunting; in-house massage therapy and healing body work; and much more.
