VALDONICA - A Journey of Serendipity and Passion VALDONICA was never a part of my life plan; it happened to me unexpectedly. In my search for a summer retreat, I set foot on VALDONICA for the first time—an abandoned estate with no vineyards. Yet, the view, the ancient oak trees, the captivating vibes deeply touched my soul, and I made a life-altering decision. I stepped away from my career and the mainstream, and I stayed. Over time, a desire grew within me to revive and open up VALDONICA to the world. In 2009, we planted our first vineyards and opened our Cantina. By 2012, we proudly harvested our inaugural vintage from our very own vineyards. In 2018, we expanded further, welcoming guests to our charming accommodations and introducing our captivating Lounge in Capo Pagiano. And of course, we continued to plant more vineyards, nurturing our passion for wine. Sustainability, nature, and diversity are the values that shape me and the essence of VALDONICA. Our commitment to organic winemaking goes hand in hand with caring for the environment. We cherish the biodiversity of grape varieties native to the Tuscan region. And we celebrate the diversity within our team, bringing together individuals with unique perspectives and backgrounds. VALDONICA is a testament to the beauty of embracing unexpected paths, to the power of revitalization, and to the joy of pursuing one's passion.
