A luxury escape to an iconic destination known for is scenic countryside and wine
Vacation in Tuscany, the dreamiest of all Italian regions, is in the center of the country. With several hilltop towns, some of Italy’s most famous cities, and row after row of vineyards growing grapes for famous Super Tuscan wines, this is a must-see destination within Italy. Tuscany offers a glimpse into the Middle Ages, with cities like Florence, Siena, Pisa, and the walled city of Lucca just brimming with history. Plus, the scenery throughout the Tuscan countryside is nothing short of picture-perfect, offering rolling hills, old vineyards, cypress trees, beaches, and stucco-roofed villas. It’s the ideal setting for some of the most memorable wine tours Italy has to offer, where you can sample world-class wines right at the source.
Tuscany is a major agricultural region, producing everything from olives for olive oil to wheat, grapes, fruits, and vegetables. The food of the region is simple but of the highest quality. Classic dishes include famous Florentine steak, panzanella salad with local bread, hearty bean stews, and crispy cakes made from chickpeas, all washed down with Chianti Classico and other local wines.
Inspiration for Your Vacation in Tuscany
Tuscany awaits the romantic, the gastronome, the wine enthusiast, and the adventurer, welcoming them all to its rolling hills and authentic Italian way of life. The region offers luxury in its uniquely quaint way: green hills share a picturesque vista with acres of olive groves, medieval castles, hilltop towns, and famed vineyards.
During a vacation in Tuscany, reveling in the local flavors must be a priority. The region is home to one of the best-kept secrets in Italy, the Val D’Orcia in the southern area of the region. Here, you will find not only the famed Brunello wine, but also locally-crafted pecorino cheese and wild honey. Treat your taste buds as you gaze upon fields of wild sunflowers. Enjoy glasses of Chianti and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano as you bask in the Tuscan sun.
For immersion into the world of art and architecture, head to 13th-century Montalcino. Breathtaking frescoes, winding medieval streets, and ancient abbeys provide a picturesque backdrop for exploration. For a bit of adventure, travel Tuscany by air. A balloon ride over the Tuscan landscape will provide you with a new perspective on the region, and yourself, as you watch the sunset from one of the most exquisite places in the world.
Anything is possible in Tuscany for those with an adventurous heart. Let your luxury Italian vacation take you to new heights.
