Itinerary
Settle into the rolling hills of Tuscany for an eight-day journey that’s a feast for the senses. The "Discover Tuscany: Culture, Food & Wine" tour invites you to savor the region’s timeless charm, whether you’re a culinary enthusiast, culture lover, or a traveler seeking relaxation.
Over the week, you’ll stay in a welcoming family-run albergo, gaining insider access to both iconic cities—Siena and Florence—and hidden medieval gems off the typical tourist path. Wine tastings at celebrated Chianti vineyards and a hands-on pasta-making class led by local experts let you truly embrace the Tuscan lifestyle.
The tour’s easy pace and small-group format make it ideal for those who appreciate fine food, age-old traditions, and a slower rhythm of travel. The USP? Deep immersion into Tuscany’s culture through authentic local interaction and culinary delights—ensuring every moment is as rich as a glass of the region’s finest red.
day 1Start at Hotel Le Renaie in Pancole
We start at Hotel Le Renaie, our welcoming family-run hotel in the village of Pancole, just 4mi (6.5km) from the medieval town of San Gimignano. In the evening, our tour leader hosts a welcome meeting to discuss the week ahead, give advice on the local area and answer any questions.
Please note: On selected dates, there may be two groups at Hotel Le Renaie. Our experienced tour leaders may therefore adjust the itinerary to ensure you enjoy each activity with your own small group.

Beautiful Tuscany
A great trip visiting a lot of beautiful Towns with informative tour guides, also providing free time to explore. The wine tasting at Majnoni Guicciardini was a fantastic setting, informative and picturesque. The trip to Siena and hearing all about The Palio was inspiring and our tour guide in Florence imparted so much knowledge. In all, a great week of exploring the many highlights of Tuscany and the beautiful scenery. The pace was just right with plenty of time to partake in wine tasting!
