A five-star hotel in Italy is offering £10,000-a-throw tours of the Ornellaia and Brunello wine-growing regions.

One of the events being offered by the St Regis Grand in Rome is the chance to fly in a private helicopter to the historical town of Bolgheri.

Guests will explore the vineyards and wine cellars of the town, which are famous for producing the Ornellaia wines.

Guests will then be invited to lunch with a wine expert to sample four special vintages of the Ornellaia wines that have never before been available to the public.

Another of the events on offer is the opportunity to explore the area where the famous Brunello is produced.

The winemaker is opening his mansion for one day to allow a tour of the winery, historical castle and a tasting of five exclusive selections from the estate paired with a five-course lunch at the Taverna Banfi.

The events cost up to £10,000.
