Food & Wine in Tuscany
tourist guide
The pleasure of living in Tuscany
“Il gusto di vivere in Toscana”: the Italian language is really rich of words but, sometimes, we’ll use “foody- words” to enrich our fantasy, like GUSTO that means “pleasure” or “so tasty!”. Now we’ll speak about Food & Wine!

Just a first presentation of some proposals and, remember that I can create your taylor-made experience by adding to the activity you’ll choose another experience about Activities or an Itinerary in our towns.
Wine Tasting
The Tuscan territory that extends south of Siena is
enriched with scenarios of unimaginable beauty, they look
like Renaissance paintings where the hand of man has only
improved what nature did by itself. In the midst of this
beauty there are ancient farms that produce wines and extra
virgin olive oil famous all over the world.
Our "wine tasting tour" will take us to visit one or two of
these farms where tastings of fine wines will be organised,
accompanied by exceptional local products such as Pecorino
di Pienza and typical cured meats. You can choose between
Montepulciano and its Vino Nobile or Montalcino with its
prestigious Brunello for this experience.
Our experiences are tailor-made, therefore, I await your
request to create your ideal tour. Extra: If you’ll choose
to spend all day in wine and food tasting, I can organize
also a typical lunch inside the farm or in a typical
Trattoria in the countryside.

informal environment: a fun cooking class, to discover
traditional cuisine.

alone but, you’ll be followed by qualified personnel who

Montepulciano or in other villages in Tuscany, according to
the client's needs.
