A Trip for Two to Tuscany, Italy for Seven Days & Six Nights with Economy Class Air, Including Car Rental, One Cooking Course and Five Arranged Wine Tastings

Discover the hidden beauty of Tuscany as you drive through stunning landscapes dotted with cypress trees, olive groves and famous vineyards - the ultimate culinary countryside. Tuscany is a charming region of Italy, far removed from the bustle of the city. Stroll down pathways and gaze out over the extraordinary countryside of rolling green hills and vineyards.

For gourmands, chefs and wine buffs, this is the perfect vacation! During the course of this exclusive trip, you'll have the opportunity to explore Tuscany while participating in daily pre-arranged wine tastings at some of the world's most recognized wineries. Savor the wine at Castello Il Palagio in the densely cultivated hills of Chianti, where you can tour not only the wine cellar, but also the "orciaia", the olive oil cellar. Osteria di Passignano in San Gimignano is a spectacular medieval village, as is the Gothic town of Siena, home of the Palio Horse Race.
