Ciao everyone! Today’s video is all about Tuscany – but not the Tuscany you’re probably thinking of.
Most people only visit Florence or Siena, but this time I wanted to show you something different. I spent 4 days on a cooking holiday in Lunigiana, a beautiful and underrated region in the north of Tuscany, staying with a local family in a 500-year-old villa.
In this video, you’ll see everything we did – from wine tastings and traditional cooking classes to exploring medieval villages and relaxing by the pool.
If you love authentic Italian experiences, this is the perfect place to add to your travel list!

Are you planning a trip to Italy? Let me know where!
Ottimo video, grazie per quest’informazioni!
Abbiamo appena ritornati da Capri ed Ischia per qualche settimana.
Non vedo l’ora quando ritorniamo ad Italia.
da Tucson, Arizona
Such a fun video—I’ve watched it twice now! I don’t have any Italian travel plans right now unfortunately, but I’d love to go someday. Roma, Napoli, Sicilia will probably be my top places to visit if I go, but there are so many choices. Grazie!
15:23 PM "Chianti Classico is the Black Rooster. Every single bottle without it can be Chianti, but not Chianti Classico." FALSE! This gentleman hasn't spent his 25 years in wine well. There are Chianti Classico producers who aren't part of the Chianti Classico Consortium. And it's membership in the Consortium that requires the Black Rooster to be displayed on the bottles.
Among the best-known producers who aren't part of the Chianti Classico Consortium are:
Antinori, Frescobaldi, Ruffino, Fontodi, Castello di Ama, Fèlsina, Brancaia… Sorry if that's not enough! Study!!!
