Culinary Adventure

Tuscany

May 25th - June 1st, 2024 -> Sold Out

Anthony and I experienced a love affair with Tuscany that left an indelible mark on our hearts. The charm of its small towns and close-knit community captured our spirits, and we made a promise to ourselves to return. We are ecstatic to fulfill that promise by offering Tuscany as a destination for our Epicureans Culinary Adventures.

With its incredible variety of fabulous wines and divine food, Tuscany offers an incredible Epicureans Experience. The region is famous for its exceptional wines, including Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile, and the legendary Super Tuscan varieties. Local culinary specialities include with fresh pastas, cured charcuteries, wood over pizzas, Florentina steaks and a variety of local cheeses. The beauty of Tuscany lies in the fact that it packs so much richness and variety into such a small territory, making it a true delight for our Culinary Adventure

The Tuscan Villa

We stumbled upon the most idyllic Tuscan villa! It captured our hearts instantly. Our luxiruious Tuscan features ten private rooms, each boasting its own ensuite. Adorned with rustic wood beams and arch ceilings, it has a magnificent country kitchen and a spectacular large dining room perfect to host our memorable feasts. Surrounding the villa is a breathtaking rose garden. The generously sized pool has sweeping views of the Tuscan hills and vineyards. Additionally, an outdoor dining area, complete with a wood-fired pizza oven, is available for us to indulge in delightful al fresco dining.

Situated in the heart of the Chianti Region, between the picturesque cities of Florence and Siena, close to Poggiobinsi, the villa enjoys an ideal location amidst the rolling countryside hills. Its proximity to renowned wine regions like Chianti and Montalcino offers us unparalleled opportunities for wine exploration. Moreover, the villa’s strategic position allows for easy access to a myriad of captivating fortified towns, including Montegrigioni and San Gimigiano. Without a doubt, this charming villa provides us with the perfect base to embark on our remarkable Tuscany Culinary Adventure.
