Chianti Cooking & Tuscany Spa Retreat

» DETAILED TOUR ITINERARY «

Have you dreamed of the rolling hills, olive orchards and vineyards of Tuscany? Then venture to the heart of Italy in October and immerse yourself in the timeless Tuscan lifestyle! You will taste renowned Chianti and Brunello wines, create regional authentic cuisine and explore many of the hidden gems of this region.

Begin your journey by steeping in the romantic beauty and history of Florence. You will then travel deep into the Tuscany countryside to the forested area of Chianti where life is tranquil and the views are endless. A lovely farmhouse at the Podere Ciona Vineyard will be your home for the next three nights as you learn to cook favorite regional dishes in a country kitchen. Your days will be filled with visits to nearby picturesque villages as well as the magnificent medieval city of Siena. Next, venture further south into Tuscany where one of nature’s wonders, a natural hot spring (non-sulphorous), has been lovingly nurtured in the tiny village of Bagno Vignoni. Your luxurious stay at the Adler Spa Resort, an incredible jewel in the center of the Tuscan countryside, offers total relaxation, superior fitness and spa services, great cuisine and outstanding views.
