Fall/Winter Tuscan Getaway for Two

I'm working on a food and wine lover's dream Tuscany getaway and wanted to share it with everyone. It's a Fall / Winter trip for two with plenty of food and wine activities to keep you warm, plus a few city visits with private guides.

Agriturismo (working farmhouse) in Tuscany with ensuite rooms

7-Day itinerary for 2 people
  • A private half-day cooking class with Italian chef in her home
  • Private tour and wine tasting and making at Chianti winery with bottling, labeling and shipping of 12 bottles of your creation to your home in the US
  • Lunch at world-famous Tuscan restaurant
  • Private guide and driver for a visit to Bolgheri wineries, an incredible farmhouse lunch, and visit to the charming hilltop town of Volterra
  • Day trip to Florence with private guide and skip-the-line tickets to the Accademia and Duomo
  • Private guide and driver for a visit to a San Gimignano winery plus lunch and wine tasting in a Chianti winemaker's home. Enjoy their wine around their table while they prepare an incredible Tuscan lunch. 
  • One week of rental car (basic manual car with unlimited miles)
  • Slice of Tuscany Planning – includes a detailed itinerary, budget, personal recommendations for free time, restaurant reservation, all reservations/bookings mentioned above, and on-call assistance before and during your travel

Cooking class in chef's kitchen
Price ~ $6000 total for everything mentioned above
(total for 2 ppl, not per person)
Accommodation and airfare not included


If you can find a deal on airfare or have points towards flights, that can go a long way. Or if you fly in November or December, you can often find great, last-minute deals especially to airports in Milan or Pisa.

Accommodations in Tuscany range from super sweet BandB/farmhouses for 100-250 per night, to villas at 3000 per week, or gorgeous 5-star castles for 2000 per night. No matter your style or budget, I can help you find the perfect place at the right price.

Authentic tours of Tuscany aren't just for Kim and Kanye. I promise, we can all enjoy private experiences and first-class service. I've worked hard to make these contacts and build my relationships with the locals in order to share them with you at honest prices.

If you're interested in a last-minute fall/winter trip to Italy and any of this interests you, let me know and we'll start planning!
