Autumn in Tuscany!

Taste Tuscan Autumn Flavours....

Autumn is one of the most important times for tuscan typical products, enjoy our wine and olive oil tours and bring back home a "slice" of Tuscany!

Whether a novice curious to learn about the ancient art of viticulture and winemaking or an old hand seeking to indulge in uniquely tuscan flavours, visiting the medieval wine cellars and oil mills will be a "must do" of your stay in Tuscany. Learn about the ancient wine and olives making traditions and delight your senses guided by our experienced guides!

A very important Tuscan product is olive oil. Thanks to the patient care to the trees and the groves, the result of the olive pressing is an unrepeatable oil that you can taste during a visit to a mill. An English (or Spanish on request) speaking personal tour leader will help you discover all the phases of the olive pressing process and the secrets for a good extra virgin olive oil. Eventually you will have the chance to taste and compare different types of olive oil of local production.
Tuscany is without doubt one of those wine regions that give some of the most important reds in the world.It is a region that has a great many interesting wines (pure and blends) made with indigenous grape varieties particular and unique to one little area that has its own specific soil composition and microclimate. Wine estates vary immensely in size, from tiny family run farms to colossal wineries owned by coops. Whether large or small, a Tuscan winery is almost always a challenge to find. Sometimes there are no signs or street addresses on the properties themselves. You simply have to zigzag around a "comune" (township) and with a little luck (or by asking for directions, which is not a guarantee either) you will bump into the winery which is much likely to be found hidden at the end of a gravel road. Our Tours will lead you to the most charming and typical wineries of Chiantishire.

A Golden chance to the oil or wine "real gourmets": pick up olives yourself or be an active part of the grapes harvest together with italian farmers!
