Tuscany Wine and Gastronomy
Join this fantastic tour devoted to enjoying the best food and wine Tuscany has to offer! This tour can be customized to focus on a particular area of Tuscany: the Chianti region famed for its first class wines, the serene town of Pienza where the delicious pecorino cheese is produced and Montalcino to taste the famous vino Brunello.
There will be tempting tastings at olive oil producers, vineyards, local producers of cheese and typical trattorias offering the region’s best dishes.
All the while, your knowledgeable guide will narrate to you the fascinating story of Italian wine, starting with the Etruscans, following through to the Greeks, the Romans and up to the 21st century. You will gain an understanding of the complexities of wine production. The various wine-producing regions and the different types of grapes used to produce certain wines.
There are elegant towns and flavours to be discovered on our Tuscan gastronomic tour.

A great evening with plenty of incredible local food and drink and a really good way to meet and get to know other travellers. The small group size made it much more personal and conversation flowed all evening! Sara (our guide) was absolutely amazing - so friendly and chatty, and so full of knowledge about the local food and Rome/Trastevere's history. She could not have been better.
I'll be coming back to Rome and will definitely be booking this again. Thank you so much, Sara, for making my first trip to Rome that much better! read less

We got to try a ton of different food and even returned to one of the restaurants later in the week. The tour groups are kept small, so our group easily got to know each other throughout the tour. We were especially pleased with how accommodating it was: My fiance is a vegetarian and can be a bit of a picky eater, so he had low expectations going in and this ended up being his favorite activity all week! We actually had a couple of vegetarians in our group and there was always an equally hearty substitute whenever necessary. Super pleased with this experience and with Luca! Best part of our week! read less

This was a wonderful way to dive straight into Italian culture. I highly recommend this class as it was very intimate with the chef (only 3 couples) and one of the most memorable experiences from our trip. read less
