EVERYDAY AT DELBRENNA IN CORTONA

Cortona's history began more than 3,000 years ago. Inlaid on a Tuscan hillside, Cortona bestows breathtaking views of the Chiana valley below. It is an ancient town, steeped in Etruscan history, recently made famous by Frances Mayes' book and movie, Under the Tuscan Sun.

DelBrenna has two charming locations in Cortona. The delightful boutique under the Tuscan stairs! But also, the magical historic 'DelBrenna Showroom' (an ancient olive oil mill & wine cellar) located just across the square. Don't miss these lovely local DelBrenna shops committed to reinventing jewelry in a form that spreads joy & happiness. "I think I went to Italy initially for the art, architecture, food, and history, but I stayed there because of the people in Cortona." ~Frances Mayes

SHOP AT DELBRENNA'S TINY & MOST HISTORIC LOCATION

The Italian proverb 'botte piccola fa buon vino' literally translates as 'the small barrel preserves the best wine. ' It pretty much means the same as 'the best things come in small packages'. Our "bottega" location is where the people of the piazza meet DelBrenna. It’s not unusual to see people coming to DelBrenna to share, connect and rejoice. We’re a memory-maker, and a neighborhood gathering place, both essential parts of a rich life.

JEWELRY TASTING

A signature DelBrenna treat like wine tasting, but with jewels. Most recently featured on the PBS Special "Dream of Italy" with Kathy McCabe & Frances Mayes. In 2006 we introduced DelBrenna Jewelry Tasting. Now a classic, through this wonderfully indulgent immersion into the world of DelBrenna, our patrons don't simply try on our beautifully handmade jewelry. Rather, like a barrel room wine tasting, clients savor artisanal pieces from timeless collections in our historical Showroom. You, too, can enjoy a glass of prosecco with gold and silver flakes while being personally styled by our team in DelBrenna Jewels. Whether just for fun, or a special occasion, wear our jewelry out to dinner on loan - an actual red carpet experience! For advance booking and more information, contact us!
