Tuscany Guide

Ahhhh the magic of Tuscany. There’s such a special energy in Tuscany. It’s so laid back. It’s not trying to impress you - and yet it is so very impressive. It’s understated, authentic, and heartfelt.

If you don’t like wine in the US, you will most certainly come back from Tuscany loving wine. Their wine is insanely good. It will actually ruin your palette forever because you won’t be able to drink any other wine thereafter!!! ;)

The rolling hills, the sunsets, the cobblestone streets, the homemade pasta, the hospitable people… truly, what’s not to love?

Tuscany is very, very spread out. It’s a HUGE region. Because of this, you really need to know where to go. You need to have a general game plan/list of spots to visit and make sure to map out your days so you don’t spend hours upon hours driving from vineyard to vineyard and getting stressed about not getting to every place you want to go to. It’s also super important that you pad in loads of downtime and relaxation as well, otherwise you’ll feel like you spent the entire trip in the car - trust me, we’ve done this before haha.

Basically, it can be super overwhelming if you don’t know where to go and how to pace out your days!

This guide will help you make the absolute most of your time in Tuscany so you can see everything you want to see, and also feel relaxed - which is the whole point of a vacation!!!
