Immerse yourself in the heart of Tuscany and be rewarded by splendid panoramas of rows of vineyards and silvery green olive groves, barren chalk hills dotted with stone farmhouses, castles perched on hilltops, medieval villages where time seems to have stood still.
This small group trip makes Tuscany come alive before your eyes. Stay in a charming country inn close to Siena for six nights followed by two nights in the heart of Renaissance Florence. The itinerary is full, but the pace is relaxed. Unforgettable landscapes and townscapes punctuated by the genuine, traditional tastes of Tuscany.
Learn the traditions of the colourful 'contrade' - rival neighborhoods who dispute Siena's famed Palio horse race.
Walk the perfectly preserved circumvallation of pink brick in Lucca; one of the most complete and formidable set of Renaissance ramparts in Italy.
Taste the authentic 'pecorino' cheese at the farm near Pienza.
Learn to prepare a classic Tuscan meal in a farmhouse in the heart of Chianti and enjoy the fruits of your labours over luncheon served outside with incomparable views over the vineyards.
Winetasting with the makers at three leading wineries - learn about the amazing variety of wines produced in Tuscany from Vernaccia di San Gimignano to Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino.
Visit Arezzo, one of the great cities of the Tuscany in the Middle Ages and Cortona, a medieval masterpiece.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant city of Florence; the cradle of the Renaissance offers works of art by Giotto, Brunelleschi, Donatello, Masaccio, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo.
