Gourmet Food Tour

Tour of Tuscany, focusing on gastronomic specialties

This tour is perfect for people who love wine, but who has just as deep a love for foods and the curiosity to see how these are produced and to widen their knowledge of Italian foods in general. This tour is also indicated for families travelling with members in all age groups.

This 1-day tour will introduce you to the food products of Tuscany, focusing on the typical quality products such as the cold press extra virgin olive oil and the artisan pecorino cheese that goes so well with the red Sangiovese wines of Tuscany.

Depending on the time of year, it might be season for truffles, porcini mushrooms or other products.

Lunch will be in one of my favorite restaurants (also praised by the Slow Food org) where you will have a truly satisfactory gastronomic experience.
The itinerary will be customized to your wishes. If you would like to read more about the foods of Tuscany, I have a couple of articles here that you might find interesting:
