Find yourself in the enchanting charm of Tuscany.
Picture yourself indulging in long Sunday lunches filled with savory dishes and aromatic wine pairings. Your morning ‘commute’ means walking down historical cobblestone streets.
Afternoons are spent exploring different neighborhoods, making friends with local shopkeepers, and just generally savoring the mellow pace of the dolce vita.
This is the chapter of your life in which you get to enjoy the best of Tuscany for a whole month as you learn about wine and soak up its rich history, hospitality and beautiful landscapes.

Work al fresco.
For those working remotely, our Wine in Tuscany Chapter includes access to our Sojrn Club House—an expansive, modern apartment that serves as an office abroad. With fast wifi, a full kitchen, and separate rooms set aside for private calls or meetings, the workday couldn’t come any easier. The space also provides chapter members with plenty of lounge and social areas to relax with new friends when off the clock. Set just steps from the spectacular Duomo di Siena, the workspace is in the ideal location to head off for a glass of Chianti in the piazza when work winds down.
If you require anything else to make your work experience as productive as possible, your local host will be there to help you get what you need.
For those interested in a more social work vibe, we’ve also found great local cafes and restaurants around Siena to use as Sojrn Spaces—places where you can pop in for a chat, get some work done, or grab a bite to eat with other Chapter members.
Wine time.
Every week you’ll have dedicated time to learn about the world of wine along with other Chapter members. We've designed a unique curriculum that includes vineyard visits, workshops on taste profiles, discussions with wine masters and, of course, lots of opportunities to test out what you’ve learned by drinking wine and spending time with new friends! Get ready to become a wine connoisseur in no time.
Note: for anyone wanting to join us in Tuscany who doesn't drink alcohol, we're happy to arrange substitute activities focused more on food than wine. That said, the educational aspect of this chapter is wine-specific.
Choose your stay.
The Wine in Tuscany Sojrn has three different tiers of accommodation options available. All are centrally located and within walking distance of the workspace.
-
Standard - $4,499 | A large private room in shared apartment (queen or king-sized bed)
-
Private - $5,499 | A private 1 bedroom apartment that comes furnished with a double bed, Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen and space to work or relax

"The SOJRN Wine in Tuscany chapter is such an incredible opportunity to experience the Italian and Sienese culture while meeting new friends, learning about wine and working remotely. SOJRN takes care of the details and provides options for activities, yet gives you the freedom to explore and enjoy daily life for a month in Siena. The local host Georgia was a wealth of knowledge and was there to assist whenever needed. Our leader (and owner of SOJRN), Tara took such amazing care of us all. I had doubts about traveling during the pandemic, but this trip exceeded all of my expectations and I have memories and new friendships I will cherish forever."
