A tour of quiet villages, exquisite wines, and timeless traditions, with a Sommelier and expert local guide. Visit Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Florence, Chianti, Siena, and Lucca. Discover the delights of the region throughout 8 days/7 nights.
Overview:
Tuscany has a way of seducing you quietly. It’s not always the postcard moments—though there are plenty of those. It’s the way the late afternoon light spills across a vineyard. The sound of footsteps on centuries-old cobblestones. A conversation with someone who’s been making wine or artisanal food the same way for generations.
This 8-day, 7-night journey doesn’t stick to the usual routes. Instead, it takes you off the beaten path—to places you wouldn’t find on your own, and experiences you didn’t know you were missing. You’ll stay in family-run inns and rustic-luxe Agriturismo, where breakfast comes with homemade jam and a view of rolling hills. You’ll sip Brunello in a medieval castle. Learn to roll pasta with someone’s Nonna. And walk the backstreets of Florence, Siena, and Lucca with locals who make the history feel alive.
There are no checklists here—just great food, wine, and culture -- and the time to savor it all.
