Wine and Food Tours in Tuscany
Tuscany, with its unspoiled nature, historic villages and endless expanses of vineyards and olive groves, embodies the beating heart of Italian food and wine culture. A journey through this region cannot be said to be complete without immersing oneself in its culinary traditions and production of excellent wines. We offer a sensory journey capable of satisfying even the most demanding palates through a careful selection of unique experiences. Here is a guide to the unmissable stops on the best food and wine tour in Tuscany.
Truffle hunting in Tuscany
A unique adventure: truffle hunting in the spectacular setting of the Tuscan countryside, precisely about 10 km from San Miniato. Here, you immerse yourself in unspoiled nature, ready to live a synaesthetic experience that turns out to be not only an adventure, but a real lesson in Tuscan culture and culinary tradition. Guided by expert truffle hunters and accompanied by two exceptional truffle dogs, Birba and Maya, participants explore the woods along hidden paths in a tour lasting about an hour and a half. This is not just a nature walk; it is a true act of discovery, during which they learn how the dogs are trained, techniques for finding the precious truffles, and, of course, the highlight: the finding of the truffle itself. At the end of the hunt, the knowledge deepens: back at the starting point, participants have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of truffles through a comprehensive information session on harvesting, storage, use in cooking and processing. And like any good self-respecting Tuscan experience, a tasting is not to be missed: a selection of truffle products is offered for tasting, closing the circle of this multisensory experience.From the fruit of the vine to the bottle
There is no shortage, of course, of wine experiences. Tours such as the Wine Tasting in Cantine Dei, or the visit with tasting at Monteverro and Poggio Nibbiale, offer a journey through the wine journey, from vineyard to winery, culminating in a tasting of some of the finest Tuscan wines that have made the region famous throughout the world.
Illustrious olive oils and cooking lessons
Extra virgin olive oil is another mainstay of Tuscan cuisine, and what better way to appreciate it than a Visit to Frantoio Franci, where you can discover the secrets of oil production and taste award-winning varieties? For cooking enthusiasts, on the other hand, the Guided Tour of the Val d'Orcia Mill with Pasta Lesson will allow you to learn the art of homemade pasta from real masters.
