overview
A Vendemmia (Italian for "the harvest") ilke no other, the House of Mustaine Wine Club invites you into the heart of Italy’s most romantic season in the rolling hills of Le Marche. This is harvest at its most evocative, sun-drenched vineyards, time-honored traditions, and the unmistakable rhythm of grape to glass.
You’ll be welcomed at our private vineyard estate, where days drift among the vines, hand-harvesting alongside the winemaking team before following the journey into the culture of surrounding castle towns. From guided tastings and seaside sessions to truffle hunting and intimate countryside feasts, each moment is designed to immerse you in the culture, flavors, and quiet luxury of rural Italy... the Mustaine way.
This itinerary weaves together hands-on discovery and refined indulgence—an intimate celebration of wine, land, and tradition, shared with a small circle of global-members in one of Italy’s most enchanting untouched regions.

Day 1
We begin the way the monks began, by arriving. A noon transfer from Rome, brings you through the rolling hills of Le Marche. By afternoon, you arrive at the luxurious “House of Mustaine” at Villa Lattanzi, perched above the Adriatic Sea with views that make everything you left behind feel appropriately small. As golden hour approaches, we gather for a Welcome Wanderlust Aperitivo, featuring our duo of still and sparkling Pecorino. Our first dinner experience will take you to the nearby medieval village of Torre di Palme, at Ristorante Lu Focaro, pouring our Peace Sells Marche Sangiovese, your vessel through the wonders of our Mustaine family traditions in Italy.
Day 2
Our first morning begins with a grounding seaside stroll and stretching practice, awakening the senses and deepening our connection to the sacred land of Marche. You’ll next step foot in an exclusive preview of our panoramic Il Sogno Estate for an intimate vineyard experience and wine class, followed by an unhurried She-Wolf Huntress Lunch immersed in nature. The afternoon will be yours to relax by the beach before making way to the charming streets of the whimsical stone-village of Sirolo for aperitivo and shopping, before we gather in the evening for an unforgettable Sparkling Sirolo Dinner at the super-chic seaside Ristorante Casacon. Our evening under the stars will sparkle just as the deep ruby hues of our Vernaccia.
Day 3
The morning begins with a guided stroll of the nearby forest of Bosco del Cugnolo, gently energizing the body and spirit before we embark for our House of Mustaine 2026 Harvest at our Montepulciano Vineyard. After celebrating the harvest with a bountiful Holy Wars Harvest Lunch, the afternoon will be dedicated to rest, whether by the sea or in the on-site spa at Villa Lattanzi.
