Wine, oil and typical food
What is Tuscany famous for all over the world? Art, food and wine of course! So, what a better way to know it than a journey through its vineyards, where several kinds of vines are cultivated, visiting award-winning wineries where sipping intense reds or fruity whites guided by expert wine tasters?
We also suggest you not to forget extra virgin olive oil, traditionally produced and used to cook in Tuscany since always. Stopping at an old oil mill is one of the most curious experiences you could do: it often happens to discover that in some small farms olives are still collected by hands and cold pressed with ancient millstones. But a gourmet tours in Tuscany reserves many other surprises to a traveller: excellent restaurants, country osterias, city wine bars offer the best of the local wine-and-food production, great chocolate artists make this territory “The Chocolate Valley”, fish is superbly cooked along the coasts and mountains give you strong almost forgotten flavours.
You do not have but to leave and come to taste all this…
