Tuscany

[vc_row][vc_column][title color=”#660000″]Tuscany[/title][spacer][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]The rolling hills of Tuscany provide some of the greatest scenery in all of Italy. The grand medieval cities of Siena and Lucca offer splendorous churches, the watchtowers of a myriad of small towns dot the landscape, whilst the valleys are filled with lush vineyards, which produce some of the world’s most exquisite wines. And don’t forget the famous Leaning Tower in Pisa.

Explore the meandering small streets in the hill towns of San Gimignano and Certaldo, before stumbling across incredible views across the valleys. Gaze in awe at the interior of Siena’s Duomo, and experience the incredible Palio horse race in July and August. Learn and taste the secrets of wine making from the families who make it in the vineyards of Chianti and Montepulciano. Drive the deserted winding countryside roads in a classic car, getting that real Italian feeling.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][image_frame url=”4460″ border_style=”boxed-frame” action=”open-lightbox”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][spacer][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][teaser image=”4743″ title=”General Information”]
