Some go for the exquisite food and to experience another culture, some venture to these storied and fabled hills and valleys to learn more of the history surrounding this ancient region. At the end of the day, however, the joy of a tour of Tuscany comes when the traveler allowing himself to be like local for a day or a week, ![Cheese farm Tuscany tour](https://www.foodnwinevacations.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_9749%20(1024x683).jpg?width=500&name=IMG_9749%20(1024x683).jpg) #### Such an experience starts from the moment you arrive to Florence. Your tour to Tuscany will feel much like visiting family. Quite at home in a villa, tucked into the hills of Chianti, the grounds alive with native fruit and flora. Birdsong will greet you as you relax and get to know your hosts.  ![wine tasting tuscany](https://www.foodnwinevacations.com/hs-fs/hubfs/wine%20tasting%20tuscany.jpg?width=500&name=wine%20tasting%20tuscany.jpg) #### You’ll be enchanted from the start. Tour a local winery and sample the heady and rich wine for which Chianti is widely known, taste true artisan cheeses made for centuries by a succession of simple cheese crafters. Stroll the quaint villages where you’ll meet the local residents, who are only too eager to offer an anecdote, a story, or a hand in friendship. Enjoy lunch in a sun-drenched café and know a moment in time, unique to your own experience in your tour to Tuscany.  ![Florence - secrets of Tuscany](https://www.foodnwinevacations.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Florence%20-%20secrets%20of%20Tuscany.jpg?width=500&name=Florence%20-%20secrets%20of%20Tuscany.jpg) #### A visit to the region of Tuscany is to be cradled in the arms of the Renaissance.

The breathtaking views of the Val D’Orcia provide a backdrop for a garden of earthly delights.

Honey, olive oil and, of course, wine are all rendered from the lush hills of the Tuscan countryside. Enjoy a repast in this gorgeous setting, creating a memory for the rest of your life.  ![siena - Secrets of tuscany tour](https://www.foodnwinevacations.com/hs-fs/hubfs/siena%20-%20Secrets%20of%20tuscany%20tour.jpg?width=500&name=siena%20-%20Secrets%20of%20tuscany%20tour.jpg) #### From the medieval villages of Siena, and Montepulciano, you’ll gain a unique perspective. You can walk the path journeyed by residents for hundreds of years.
