We are the locals! We'll show you Tuscany the way it's meant to be seen...
Tuscany happens to be one of the greatest destinations in Italy and most probably in all of Europe.
The elegance of the rolling hills lined with cypress tress create a majestic atmosphere unique to this part of Italy.
The exuberance of the people together with the food and wine create the perfect vacation setting. Tasting Tuscany offers Scheduled Group Tours/Vacations as well as Tailor Made Packages for groups.
Tuscany is all FOOD, WINE & FUN and that is what our tours are all about. You will be with a small group of people Cooking together, Hunting Truffles, Tasting local Cheeses & Olive Oils, visiting Wineries together and laughing together after Wonderful Meals. Our aim is to take you to visit our friends & family around the area and to show you a different way of life!
What sets us apart from the others? We create our vacations & tours, you'll have the owner or one of his hosts and fabulous guides with you at all times. We don't buy or resell anything. The owner of Tasting Tuscany was one of the first in Italy to actually create and market cooking holidays.
Everything we do revolves around great food, wonderful wine, visiting special unique places & having a fantastic time!
We create wonderful and unique experiences for our guests. Our cooking vacations & tours are the farthest thing from mass tourism. As groups are small, you'll feel as if you are with friends being immersed in the best of Tuscany! You will be with like-minded people that all love great food and wine who come to experience and enjoy all that Italy has to offer.
