Montalcino – Sant’Antimo Abbey – Pienza – San Quirico – Cortona – Bagno Vignoni – Siena – Florence
Tuscany has left its imprint on the world in so many ways, through so many of its citizens, from Dante Alighieri, to Galileo, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Giacomo Puccini, the poet Petrarch, the writer Boccaccio, etc., who have contributed to the beauty and fame of the region. Tuscany is beloved by people around the world, and has been a destination and coveted location for private villas and residences for centuries.
As birthplace of the Renaissance, it continues to serve as inspiration and muse to artists and writers. I will try to show you my Tuscany, one that stems from my love for this region. For me it’s not just a “tourist destination,” but it’s my passion, my life, my freedom.
Our trip will develop as a gradual progression. We begin in charming, small medieval towns with their traditional way of life, narrow streets, and tempting “trattorias” and cozy restaurants. We also experience typically Italian traditions and festivals, try some world-famous wines, take in amazing views, and eventually reach splendid Florence with its rich history, museums and stunning art and architecture.

ADDITIONAL INFO If you have already done a wine tasting in the region, please let us know with whom so we can avoid repetition. We prefer small, non-commercial wineries to make sure you have a special experience. The itinerary is flexible and can be tailored to suit your particular interests or the time of year. Just let us know what you would like and we will do our best to accommodate you. P.S. Should your trip coincide with any special local festivities, like a jazz or wine fest, or an opera or concert, I will let you know in advance in case you would like to include that in your tour. |
