Cooking and Walking in Tuscany
Footloose- 7 Nights/8 Days
You’ll stay in Medieval walled towns and taste the famous vintages of the area - Chianti and the rich red, world-renowned Brunello wines.
The fine cuisine and wine will be equalised by pleasant walks in the countryside that is a patchwork of vineyards, olive groves, ancient forests and fields of wheat and barley – the wellspring of ingredients for delicious Tuscan meals.
"We wish to thank you for the pleasure we have had walking and cooking in Tuscany. Everything was well organised, hotels good quality and the scenery was magnificent." - Richard and Chris Perry and Colin and Jocelyn White.
