Urban innovation in Cape Town

It’s easy to forget, gazing through the floor-to-ceiling windows of One&Only Cape Town’s Wine Loft and onto the rugged surface of Table Mountain, that you’re at the epicentre of one of the world’s most bustling cities. Housing over 5,000 bottles, you’ll find the most balanced and diverse wine collections on the continent sitting beside local producers and wineries. A private immersion with renowned sommelier Luvo Ntezo will take your knowledge and passion to the next level. Celebrated as the best young sommelier in South Africa, Luvo isn’t one for orthodox methods of wine tasting. His unique approach allows you to savour wine in a way that appeals to you, and with his help you can bring home your very own signature blend.

Tuscan dream

The Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco is a romantic hideaway, settled within Tuscany’s UNESCO World Heritage site; here, slow living and simplicity takes you back in time to a medieval village. But there are plenty of modern touches: a golf course staffed by pros, a fitness program overseen by a triathlete, and, of course, a collection of rich red wines – notably the coveted Brunello di Montalcino, a ruby red that’s intense, elegant and steadfastly inspired by local tradition.

The Vertical Tasting experience is a must. Retrace every step in the art of winemaking, from grape to barrel. Extraordinary, educational, and completely private, you’ll enjoy six of the finest and most rare Brunello vintages, sensually paired with local Italian cheeses.
