Considered the beating heart of the “Bel Paese”, Tuscany represents an original and unique historical and cultural reality in the geographical panorama of Italy.
Located between the coasts of the Tyrrhenian Sea, with its rolling hills, snow-covered mountains, the cypress trees and the wonderful coasts, the region acts as a beacon for tourists looking for an essential experience in Italy with the splendid Florence, capital of the region and with all the other cities where we find a rich variety of culture and enogastronomy which constantly blend and intersect, enriching the experience of those who are about to visit it, making it unforgettable.
Privileged center and origin of the Renaissance, Tuscany can be defined as an open-air museum in which buildings, churches and palaces, in addition to hosting priceless sculptures and paintings, are themselves works of art capable of satisfying the most demanding critics.
Not to mention the goldsmith artisans or watch restorers, who, by mixing old and new art, produce beautiful jewels.
This glorious region is the cradle of prestigious wines such as Brunello di Montalcino, which you will taste with the guidance of a professional sommelier who will illustrate the history and geography of the Tuscan wine tradition while you will enjoy cheeses with an inimitable flavor.
The beautiful landscapes and splendid architecture will be the perfect backdrop for your oil and wine tastings, visit to farmers market and cooking class where you can learn recipes that have been handed down for generations.
A dream that will come true for those who are passionate about food and wine and will want to dine at famous restaurants and taste the most typical local dishes of the Tuscan culinary tradition and the renowned Super Tuscan wines, visiting historic farms, luscious gardens and small villages on the top of the Tuscan hills.
You will have the opportunity to meet great wine producers belonging to the aristocracy but you will feel at home with friends tasting refined wines.
If you are a wine connoisseur or even just passionate and you love art this is the journey for you: the tour begins and ends in Florence where you will visit the places where illustrious artists such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and noble families such as the Medici lived .
Many of the Tuscan towns and cities have maintained the same fundamental character of the last 500 years, keeping the Renaissance pomp alive through the celebration of local events and celebrations of centuries-old tradition such as the joust of the Saracen in Arezzo.
Accompanied by a private driver you will visit the Tuscan Maremma with its pristine coasts, Pisa with the famous leaning tower, Volterra testimony of the ancient Etruscan civilization of pre-Roman origin, famous for its precious alabasters, Siena overlooking the hills of Chianti, San Gimignano, a splendid medieval center where time seems to have stopped, to then return to Florence, where on a wonderful and warm evening you will admire the moon reflecting on the Arno river from the Ponte Vecchio.
Looking forward to see you.
