The Tuscany Chapter 2024
Here’s a quick snapshot of the itinerary we designed. A combination of Italian culture, farm life, food, wine, rolling hillsides, quaint medieval towns, villages, along with Florence, Siena and Cortona as well as the opportunity to meet the locals and experience life as it is in Italy.
Guests will also experience a world-famous vineyard with a leisurely Michelin star dining experience to follow (due to privacy and secrecy we will keep this venue a secret for now, but get ready to be blown away!). Our guests will also be in awe of our home cooked meals each night by our chef.
Every day will make you smile, wonder, and embrace la dolce vita.
