Exclusive Villa Panna Experience on offer at 'Bid For Recovery' Auction to support restaurants

Having sponsored The World's 50 Best Restaurants for many years, in this difficult moment Acqua Panna and S.Pellegrino are proud to be the main partners of the 50 Best for Recovery programme. Intended to aid the survival and revival of the restaurant sector around the world, the project is part of the broader #SupportRestaurants movement launched by S.Pellegrino.

In a further initiative, the 'Bid for Recovery' Auction, opening on 3 July, will raise funds by giving food and travel enthusiasts the opportunity to bid for over 100 out-of-this-world gourmet and lifestyle experiences.

Acqua Panna is contributing to the auction by offering bidders a priceless Tuscan experience for two at Villa Panna at Scarperia, a magnificent Medici-era property, which will be opened especially for the occasion.

The Acqua Panna Experience comprises three amazing days immersed in the rolling hills and charmed lifestyle of Tuscany. Highlights will include a private Tuscan barbecue hosted by a Michelin starred Chef, a private vineyard tour and extensive wine tasting, and an exclusive visit to the Acqua Panna source and natural reserve. The whole experience culminates in a stop in Florence for an aperitivo on board a boat on the river Arno, with the famous Ponte Vecchio as a backdrop, followed by an incredible starred dinner at Gucci Osteria by Massimo Bottura.

After these three memorable days, Tuscany and its traditions will hold no more secrets!
