Tuscany is a magically beautiful land where the philosophy of life is most deeply rooted in the daily routines and the lives of those who live there.
One only need travel through the countryside to feel a strong desire to live there, or to lose oneself completely in the classic countryside that the entire world envies to be a part of, because of the songs from the earth, the pleasures of the table, the aroma of the wines, the art of old masters and the art of living soothe the mind.

The pleasure of exploring the Tuscan world of art will give you such a unique perspective and deeper understanding and appreciation of Tuscany. You will be guided through an unforgettable “TOUR OF ANTIQUES DEALERS”, the most remarkable “botteghe antiquarie” where, for purchases you will be assisted in making the right choice when something really touches your heart.
Then, with “THE GOURMAND TOUR”, you will be guided through an extraordinary experience of gourmet food and wine, from the most loved of all Italian arts, that of Tuscan cuisine. The dishes prepared are mirrored throughout the world but are only authentic under the true atmosphere provided by the etruscan sun.
Tuscany is the cradle of the famous Chianti and Brunello wines. These historical and most famous wineries still maintain their world importance, which together with the newly famous and modern Super Tuscans, you can taste Tuscany’s true expression of terrior and at the same time you will enjoy some of the world’s most exquisite and breathtaking sceneries. It is fortune when these two can be enjoyed together.
Tuscany is a land scented by firewood, wild mushrooms and strawberry trees, which together exude a sense of calm. In this land of vineyards and olive trees, steep hills and rows of cypress and the rich clay soil, the cooking is in complete balance with the environment, simple but hearty. Flavors are enhanced by an extraordinary olive oil, to be enjoyed in every possible dish, rustic or elegant.
You will be personally guided to discover the cities and towns that even in their silence, you can feel the echoes of the Renaissance, recalling historic frescoes never lost which in a mystic way join with the present. The informed and interesting way, in which you will be guided through these most historic places will give you insight into a magical past that seems to still linger in the present, if you know what to look for. Memories you will surely treasure forever.
A unique experience for a privileged few.
