An Intimate Festival for the Five Senses

From art exhibits to culinary delights, literary discussions to beauty treatments at Tuscany’s most luxurious spas, the Tuscan Sun Festival will feature a full spectrum of artistic programming and Italian pleasures. The festival offers highly personal cultural experiences including private receptions with featured artists, contemporary art exhibits and new collections of Cortona’s Etruscan and Renaissance treasures developed specifically for the event, and a day-long wine festival sponsored by the Cortona Wines Consortium at the Fortezza Girifalco, a hilltop medieval fortress.

The festival will also feature a wide array of lectures in Italian and English by world-renowned speakers.

Festival guests can nourish body and spirit in the natural healing waters of ancient Roman baths, relax in a yoga class with Lucia Dalbon and enjoy a program of massage and beauty treatments at Fonteverde, Tuscany's premier spa. Visitors can also savor the tastes and traditions of the Tuscan countryside with Cortona’s leading chefs. The culinary program will culminate in a gala dinner on a private estate.

Situated on the border of Tuscany and Umbria less than an hour's drive from Florence, Siena, Assisi, Perugia and Arezzo, Cortona is surrounded by ancient vineyards, olive groves and the expansive landscape of the Val di Chiana and Lake Trasimeno.
