TT EXCLUSIVE– LiveLocal Tuscany
Join Brian* and our local Tuscany expert in the rolling hills of Tuscany for a week, or even two. LiveLocal in a comfortable apartment on a lovingly tended wine and olive farm. We’ll get you oriented and help you plan your independent exploration of this rich region. You’ll have a chance to join us for a couple of included small group activities: a cooking class using fresh, local ingredients and a tasting at one of the area’s best wineries.
Location
Our vacation rental apartments are near Buonconvento and Montalcino. Montalcino is the heart of the Brunello wine region. It’s also a stunningly beautiful hill town with excellent restaurants and breathtaking views. Buonconvento is a medieval walled village with an understated charm. This area is only about 40 minutes south of the Renaissance city of Siena and about 90 minutes south of iconic Florence. Picture postcard villages and towns like San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Pienza, and Pisa are all within a day’s drive.
