Experience authentic Tuscany at its best—where medieval villages, local farms, and family-run estates serve up standout regional products like cured meats, cheeses, and signature bottled selections known worldwide.

Getting started

Start a journey through the Chianti region. Sip on noteworthy vintages, and experience the essence of the region with extra virgin olive oil on Tuscan bread, paired with vin santo and locally crafted 'cantuccini' biscuits, all complemented by the exquisite touch of lavender honey.

Val'd'Orcia

Take in the lush greenery of UNESCO-listed Val d'Orcia. At a historic farm, relish a guided two-course lunch featuring the renowned Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello, and Supertuscan wines.

Stop by the hill town of Montalcino, where stone walls and a 14th-century fortress overlook the rolling landscape of Val d’Orcia. Walk through its compact streets lined with traditional shops and tasting rooms. Then, drive through scenic countryside to Montepulciano—another fortified town known for its historic cellars and Renaissance buildings.
