Wine therapy in Tuscany

Hi, first time as inquirer.
I would like to experience some wine therapy treatments in Tuscany because I don't feel like travelling in this period. I was looking for some relaxing idea about city-break and I have been told that being in the Fall a massages with red grape could be appropriate for health because of the season. I am leaving with my man which is more interested in drinking wine than having it spread all over the body.
Thank you for advising.

Yes, it is a real thing.

to the OP try googling spas in Tuscany or Umbria and then look at the treatments offered.

Well I suppose it's one way of reducing the EU's wine lake.

What is the EU's wine lake?
Once I had a chocolate massage and was great. I don't see why a grape massage could sound unreal..

Wine lake = all the excess wine that the EU countries produce and can't sell. There is also an EU butter mountain on the same principle. Overproduction of agricultural products blamed, some say, on generous EU subsidies to the farming sector. The butter used to be offloaded onto Russia, but I don't know these days.

Thank you cymraeg this forum never disappoints me, I learned something even this time.
As for going behind to winetherapy I checked a hotel I already knew for tasting of wine and olive oil http://www.monsignordellacasa.com. This year they also hosts wine treatmenets. If they don't work I will take comfort with Jacuzzi and next time I will try with Bourgogne in France. Thank you all
