Palazzo di Varignana is preparing to celebrate a long weekend full of special events over the Immaculate Conception holiday, from 5 to 8 December. For four days, the famous hotel on the outskirts of Bologna will host events dedicated to wellness and creative experiences.

The rich programme ranges from food and wine tastings to pleasant moments of night-time relaxation at the Varsana SPA. Among the many events on offer, we would like to highlight those scheduled for Saturday 6 December, including the “Forever Christmas Cooking Class” at the Ginkgo Longevity Restaurant. The restaurant, which offers an energy-boosting menu based on the famous Acquaviva method, will host an exciting cooking class dedicated to Christmas desserts, where participants can try their hand at tasty yet healthy recipes with a focus on longevity.

Also on the same day, Dr Annamaria Acquaviva, scientific director, will offer an immersive experience with rituals dedicated to beauty and wellbeing: a true multisensory journey to rediscover energy and harmony and arrive at the festive season in peak physical condition. The afternoon will continue with a cultural event that also bears the touch of Galleria Cavour: our Chiara Franchi will present her new book “Dritti al cuore” (ROI Edizioni) to all participants, continuing the journey of wellbeing, this time of the soul, through a discussion focused on the value and power of words.

The day will come to a perfect conclusion with a book signing accompanied by an aperitif with a DJ set by Davide Casacci at the Resort’s Lounge Bar.

On Sunday 7 and Monday 8, however, the star of the pre-Christmas events will be yoga, with special sessions and exceptional tastings. All events can be booked on the resort’s official website (www.palazzodivarignana.com) , where you can also find more information about each individual activity. Christmas is just around the corner, and there is no better way to prepare for the festivities than four days immersed in the wellbeing of body and mind at Palazzo di Varignana.
