Tuscany in Italy is among the most talked about parts of the country. And, the more time spent traveling through this central Italian region, with its many vineyards and gentle hills, the more quickly one comes to appreciate the allure. After several visits, I was more than pleased to learn about Wine Therapy. This wellness experience combines the age-old pleasures of wine with modern spa treatments.

During a weekend retreat at Borgo Casa al Vento, a scenic agriturismo tucked in the heart of Chianti, I went on a journey of relaxation and rejuvenation that left me feeling refreshed and invigorated. Along with that, I came away from the experience with a newfound appreciation for the healing properties of wine.
