Discover the heart of Tuscany, as we unveil the land that has captured the world’s imagination for millenia. Nestled in the Cyprus-lined hills on a family farm producing wine, olive oil, and Tuscany’s very best cheese, we’ll immerse ourselves in this famed culture and way of life. Next, we’ll journey to a heartier, more mountainous Tuscany to the east, where we’ll experience the region through the vantage point of our very own 11th century castle. The very castle where Dante himself stayed and was inspired to write The Divine Comedy.

This is not just a journey; it is an invitation into a way of life that remains authentic and rare. Along the way, we’ll learn from master artisans who specialize in traditional textiles and food products, gaining hands-on insight into their timeless crafts. We’ll deepen our connection to Tuscany’s culinary heritage by rolling up our sleeves in the kitchen, creating dishes that celebrate the land’s unique flavors. Between these enriching experiences, there will be plenty of time to relax in nature, soak in the serene landscapes, and explore the region’s beauty through invigorating hikes. This is your chance to not only witness Tuscany but to truly live it.
