The Experience
Unforgettable rambles though Chianti’s hills and vineyards Visit Monte Oliveto Maggiore, a Benedictine abbey founded in 1313 Fresh Tuscan cuisine and luxurious historic lodging Explore classic medieval hill towns including Pienza and Vertine Join a wine expert for a tasting of Brunello di Montalcino and other vintages Ancient Footpaths in Medieval Italy It just makes sense really. The closer you get to something, the richer your experience. Fly over Tuscany and you may see Florence as a cluster of red clay roofs. Maybe you see the Arno River winding through the patchwork landscape. Take a bus, you get an idea of the hills and scenery. But stroll past its vineyards and olive groves. Smell the cypress and rosemary. Stand in the shade of oak trees. Taste the Brunello and the olive oil on bread toasted in a stone fireplace. There is no better – or closer – way to truly experience Tuscany.
