Overview
Tuscany is one of the great food and wine destinations in Italy, and, indeed the world. The scenery is unbelievably beautiful with large tracts of agricultural land, including wheat fields, vineyards and olive groves, placed on rolling hills, dotted with cypress trees and criss-crossed by white gravel roads. So just imagine this: An unforgettable week in southern Tuscany, tasting some exceptional wines, learning how to cook like an Italian, visiting some spectacular medieval towns and enjoying sumptuous gourmet meals. All while staying in luxurious accommodation in the beautiful Val d'Orcia World Heritage area while in the company of other like minded people. Our Food and Wine Experiences are unique as they consist of small groups ensuring a more personalised and intimate experience.
