Overview

Base yourself in a restored 15th-century farmhouse in the Chianti hills and let Tuscany come to you. Cook with a local nonna, hunt for truffles with a farmer and his dog, and taste Brunello in the cellars where it ages.

Day trips take you to Siena's Campo, the towers of San Gimignano and the Uffizi in Florence, timed to avoid the crowds.

  • Truffle hunt and lunch on a family farm
  • Hands-on pasta class with a Tuscan nonna
