Everything moves too fast: people have stopped walking and started running, and this is having a huge impact on both our planet and our happiness.
We asked ourselves whether we, too, had become part of this mechanical and hectic lifestyle, and more importantly, whether we could make a change.
The answer had always been right under our noses. We are among the luckiest people on the planet; we have our animals, our garden, and a land that is full of life. This serendipity made us realize that sharing is the only true way to have a meaningful impact on this rushed and soulless way of living.
A View to Remember
To complete this journey of the senses, our terrace offers one of the most scenic views in Montalcino. It is the perfect place to slow down for a relaxed lunch or a sunset aperitivo, where the food reflects whatever the garden has to offer and the landscape speaks for us.
We hope you leave not just full, but with a renewed sense of peace and a deeper connection to the land.”
From our Soil to your Table
Today, we invite you to pause and enjoy simple, seasonal dishes made with the purest local ingredients. Just like in our vineyards, the soil of our synergic garden is tended following a biodynamic approach. We don’t force anything; we simply follow the seasons and respond to the land’s needs.
Our garden provides a bounty of herbs—mint, basil, sage, rosemary, elderflower, and wild dandelion—alongside a vibrant palette of local vegetables: zucchini, tomatoes of all shapes and colors, eggplants, and golden squashes. Even our patio sits in the heart of the farm, where chickens run free and undisturbed. Their fresh eggs make our frittatas a must-try, while our own Extra Virgin Olive Oil and farm-produced honey provide the perfect finishing touch.
The menù
Our menu’ reflects this philosophy and the old Tuscan way of conceiving food. The idea is to share with you our way of using nature’s availability and transforming it into something healthy, delicious, simple. Ask us which dish pairs best with your wine, or what the freshest offering from the morning harvest is – we will be more than glad to share with you our way of appreciating food as it is meant to be.
Every season brings different vegetables and different kinds of goat cheese, offering you the opportunity to taste ingredients at their best, somethinig that is increasingly rare. There is no need to corrupt or distort nature, it already gives us what we need. And this is exactly what you’ll find at Serendipity. The dishes, the wines, the olive oil, and the honey we serve are all naturally produced, with very little interference from humans.
Over the years, the proximity to Monte Amiata has allowed us to build meaningful relationships with local cheesemakers who share our values.
The goats are raised on diverse organic pastures, grazing freely among fields, shrubs, and woodlands rich in native plants. This varied, natural diet is what gives their milk and cheeses depth, balance, and aromatic complexity.
All dishes are finished with extra virgin olive oil produced on our farm from ancient Tuscan olive trees. Cold-pressed and seasonal, the oils range from the elegant and delicate Olivastra Seggianese to a vibrant blend of Moraiolo, Leccino, and Frantoiano. Their character evolves throughout the year, from bold and spicy when young to softer and rounder with time, subtly transforming every dish.
Our beehives complete this biodiverse ecosystem. Through nomadic beekeeping, the bees follow the blossoms across different landscapes and altitudes, from Montalcino to Monte Amiata. This results in a range of honeys—wildflower, ivy, chestnut—each shaped by climate, terrain, and season. Used to accompany cheeses and desserts, these honeys bring sweetness, gentle bitterness, and a variety of textures, inviting guests to explore flavor through instinct and curiosity.
