If you are a culinary tourist, like we are, or just want to check off a dream Tuscan vacation from your “bucket list”, you will appreciate this trips distinctive, educational and relaxing itinerary. Our home base will be at Abbondanza Toscana and the Selva Estate in the lush hills of Lucca.

And since food is an integral part of daily life in Italy, we will be joined by a local chef, who will conduct several hands-on cooking demonstrations using local ingredients.
