Bocelli Backstage and Wine

Gain an insider’s view into the life of Andrea Bocelli by recording a song at his studio, sampling wines at his family’s vineyard, dining at his restaurant and touring his outdoor amphitheater. Settle in for a lovely drive through the Tuscan countryside to the studio where Andrea Bocelli often records. As an introduction to the revered tenor’s musical journey, you’ll watch an enlightening film on his accomplishments. Revel in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to record a karaoke-style version of one of his songs in a studio he frequently uses, choosing either The Prayer or Can’t Help Falling in Love. In nearby Lajatico, the tenor’s birthplace, learn the Bocelli’s family’s influence also extends into winemaking on a tour of the vineyards and farm they have owned since 1730.

You’ll appreciate a wine tasting with appetizers and three-course lunch in Officine Bocelli Restaurant. Drive to the Teatro del Silenzio, a serene open-air amphitheater where Bocelli performs but once a year, leaving the theater almost perpetually in silence except for the sounds of nature. Conclude your musical idyll by uncovering the tenor’s life and career in the Bocelli Museum and receiving your recording, a uniquely personalized gift you’re sure to forever cherish.
