Tuscany

The landscape, towns and tastes of Tuscany are perhaps Italy’s most iconic. If you are traveling into Tuscany during spring, you can expect to experience mild days and see gently rolling hills and fields filled with beautiful blooms. These are just a few of the reasons why this time of year is a great time to visit the small medieval towns and rural areas, the cities of art and to enjoy the outdoor activities. You can hike the country trails, or join an ebike tour with wine tasting to fully appreciate your stay in this region.

The tail end of the year is also particularly appealing. Italy’s peak harvest season for grapes and olives goes from September to beginning of December and the foliage in Tuscany offers truly unique emotions. There are many beautiful destinations in this region, Val d’Orcia is one of them. It is listed as one of UNESCO’s world heritage sites, it is located just south of Siena and offers the breathtaking views and majestic estates that inspired the Renaissance painters. The Chianti area is also wonderful, with its amazing landscapes and excellent food and wine, it is definitely worth a visit.
