Imagine being a billionaire couple and wine enthusiasts without financial worries. You'd participate in the 'Dream Auction', a super-exclusive charity auction in London, where super-luxury trips are offered to the most interesting corners of the planet.
Of course, you'll find it hard to pass up 'The Super Tuscans Wine Experience' (going for the moderate price of just 160,000 pounds), a short yet exclusive package that includes a tour of the most famous names in Tuscan wine.
This dream of enological luxury will come true for the Schwarzenbachs, a wealthy Swiss couple residing in London, who will arrive shortly in Tuscany on a private jet provided by Netjets Europe, and spend four days together with some of the legends of the wine world.
At the Campo di Sasso, the new enological endeavor of Lodovico Antinori in Bolgheri, the couple will be welcomed by the Marchese Lodovico himself, and will have a private tasting with none other than the renowned Michel Rolland. The other stops on this dream will be at the Guado al Tasso, the winery of the Marchesi Piero Antinori in Bolgheri; the San Guido Estate, home of Sassicaia; the Ornellaia Estate, cradle of some of the world's finest wines; Argiano, home of the historic Brunello label; and Castel Giocondo, the famous estate of the Marchesi di Frescobaldi in Montalcino.
The 'special' tourists, will explore all four corners of Tuscany by helicopter, they will be welcomed and pampered at each stop with exclusive tastings, top quality dinners, and have the company of two exceptional guides, Serena Sutcliffe, Master of Wine, running the Wine Section at Sotheby's, and her husband David Peppercorn, Master of Wine and specialist in Bordeaux wines.
