In the words of Francis Mayes, “a guest on holiday is intent on pleasure.” Discover the secret pleasures of the Tuscan countryside with a weeks worth of special experiences. The pleasures of art, history, food and wine all await you when we work together with Montestigliano’s English speaking guest manager to plan your Taste of Tuscany.

A visit to Montestigliano in the late fall or early spring can be glorious with bright, crisp days, you can wander hill towns and visit the museums without the crowds and get a real taste of Tuscan life.

November is one of the busiest months here in the country and truly a Gastronomic Delight with the renowned seasonal truffle festivals. We would like to propose a number of possibilities for you during the month either as a group or alone, whichever you prefer. Participate in the olive harvest seeing the olives pressed and being privy to the first taste of finest Olive Oil, learn about our famous Wines under the expert eye of a ‘sommelier’ and discover the secrets of the Tuscan country kitchen. For those of you in the United States why not bring your family over for Thanksgiving?

December is the festive season so come and shop for Christmas at the famous outlets such as Prada, Pratesi, Gucci, and Dolce e Gabana and other secret sources for the holidays.

February you can fully immerse yourself during a week discovering the Gastronomic Delights of the region visiting markets and vineyards and cooking with local chefs.The possibilities are endless and vary depending on the week you choose and what your interest is. Our aim is to share with you in a relaxed and informal atmosphere some of the best-kept secrets of Tuscany but also give you the chance to find some for yourselves too!
