Culinary Adventure

Tuscany

September 2nd-9th, 2023

Anthony and I fell in love with Tuscany a few years ago. It is all about the small towns and community feel. We vowed we would come back! We are excited to launch it as our second destination of our culinary adventures! Tuscany could not be a better destination for an Epicureans Adventures: the wines are fabulous and the food devine! Oh Tuscan wines! So much to discover in such a small territory! Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile, Super Tuscan.....

The Tuscan Villa

We found the perfect villa to settle in. A typical Tuscan Villa with wood beams, a big kitchen, a fabulous dinning room to host all our meals, a beautiful rose garden, a big pool with views of the Tuscan hills to refresh, an outdoor dinning area with wood pizza oven to dine Al Fresco and 12 private rooms with private ensuite to rest. It is perfectly located in the heart of Chianti Region between Florence and Siena, in Poggiobinsi in the middle of the rolling hills of the country side. It is within easy reach of several famous wine regions ( Chianti, Montalicino just to name a few;) and picturesque fortified towns (Montegrigioni, San Gimigiano, Certaldo, Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano). The perfect base to make the most of our Tuscany Culinary Adventure!
