A Little Piece of Italy, Just for You
Each adopted vine is individually identified with its own number and connected to a personalised adoption certificate — signed in your name and yours to keep.
Through the seasons you will follow the vineyard with our seasonal updates, watching your vine bud, ripen and join the harvest — and feeling connected to the land that produces our wines.
Adoption is symbolic: it does not transfer ownership of any vine, grapes or land.
The Experience
A year of connection with our land, our wines and our way of life in Southern Italy.
Our vineyards and olive groves
Rows of Aglianico and Fiano set among ancient olive trees in the hills of Irpinia.
Wine production and local traditions
Hand-harvested grapes and time-honoured Irpinian winemaking, from vine to bottle.
Vineyard visits and tastings
Walk the rows with us, then taste our estate wines where they are made.
Personalised membership certificates
Every membership is marked with a certificate created for you or your gift recipient.
Seasonal updates from Tenuta Monteluce
News from the vines through pruning, flowering, harvest and bottling.

Programme Terms
The essentials, stated plainly — before any payment is ever requested.
Membership duration
Each founding membership runs for twelve months from the date it is activated. Renewal is offered, but never automatic.
Fulfilment
Certificates, vine photographs, identification numbers and seasonal updates are delivered by email once the membership is activated. Adoption certificates carry the name you give us at registration.
Wine collection or delivery
Wine benefits can be collected in person at the estate or delivered where local law allows. Deliveries require an adult signature, and wine cannot be shipped where restrictions apply — we will confirm options with you personally.
Age restrictions
Membership is open to adults aged 18 and over. Wine-related benefits are reserved for members and recipients of legal purchasing age in their country.
Cancellation and refunds
A membership cancelled before it is activated is refunded in full. After activation, cancellations are possible until certificates or wine have been issued; benefits already dispatched cannot be refunded. Your statutory rights are unaffected.
A symbolic programme
Vine adoption is symbolic and does not transfer ownership of any vine, grapes or land, nor any share of production or revenue. Memberships are experiences, not investments.
Purchase and activation
Memberships are purchased directly on this page and are activated when your payment is confirmed. Certificates, vine details and welcome information follow by email after activation.
