Tuscany, a melting pot of culture and gastronomy.

Just mention the word Tuscany, and images of rolling hills, iconic cultural heritage and incredible food spring to mind. Tuscany provides an Italian masterclass in stylish holidays. 

From the renaissance masterpieces housed in Florence's world class museums, to the striking beauty of Siena's red-bricked gothic architecture, the cultural exploration in Tuscany is second to none. After a few days exploring fascinating museums, stunning churches and seeing the iconic artwork of the region, it is time to escape to the countryside and relax in the luscious green hills of the Tuscan vineyards. Take time to learn more about the many varieties of grapes that are grown in this sunny region. In the heart of red wine country, sample the cherry infused notes of Chianti. Or enjoy pairing a crisp Vernaccia di San Gimignano with a seafood pasta dish. 

Make sure you dine al fresco in an olive grove and finish your meal with the local dessert wine - the delectable Vin Santo. Toast to La Dolce Vita as you enjoy the finest food and wine that Tuscany can offer, whilst relaxing on your escape to this stunning region of Italy.  

We would advise extending your trip to Tuscany to take in the dramatic coastal scenery of the Mediterranean coast. A popular walk is through the pastel-hued villages of Cinque Terre. Enjoy a refreshing gelato, or a dip in the sea at the end of this stunning coastal walk. 

Whilst in Tuscany, make sure you find time to amble around the local markets, or time your holiday to participate in one of the many cultural festivals that take place throughout the year. 

Tuscany has so much to offer, that you may find yourself returning year after year to explore some more!
