Experience It! The Tuscan Countryside
See another side of Italy in the Tuscan countryside. This breathtaking rural area
feels like a country unto itself — never-ending green rolling hills, medieval
villages, and picture-perfect farm houses dot the landscape, much of which
appears as if it has been frozen in time. Experience cultural moments that
perfectly encompass the countryside’s idyllic beauty. You will visit a family-
owned winery to tour its gorgeous vineyards; delight your senses during an
expert-led cooking class; and enjoy a sumptuous lunch — which is, of course,
paired with wines produced only feet away from you. Lose yourself in the beauty
of the Tuscan countryside — these will truly be moments you will remember
forever.
