EAT, EXPLORE, EXPERIENCE TUSCANY
A hundred ways to love Tuscany
A whistle-stop tour of all the major sights, or a meander slowly through some of the more out-of-the way places? A difficult choice. If you’ve never been to Tuscany (or Italy, perhaps) before, then can you afford to miss the ‘Leaning Tower’ or Michelangelo’s ‘David’? Wouldn’t you rather spend more time visiting quiet medieval hill-top castles, and tasting a stunning wine surrounded by the vines that produced it? These are questions only you can answer, but if you read some of the articles in our Blog, maybe they will help you decide on the right balance.
One thing is for sure: there are hundreds of ways to enjoy yourself in Tuscany. Whatever your tastes, there is something for everyone here. From world-class food and wine, to stunning history. Journey from the breath-taking mountains of the Apennines, through the luscious forests that blanket Tuscany, and end up on a golden beach on the Mediterranean, with a plate of fantastic seafood and a class of ice-cold Vermentino, we’ll help you find your way.

A TRIP TO THE BEACH
If you are tired of sight-seeing, just remember, you're never far from a beach in Tuscany. So take a day out to lounge in the sun, enjoy an 'aperitivo', sit down for an amazing seafood lunch, swim in the crystal clear seas, and enjoy a beautiful sunset. If you have kids, don't even think about skipping this.
TASTE THE WINE
Tuscany makes some of the best wine in the world, and Podere Patrignone is right in the heart of it's most prized region, Chianti Classico. Within 10 minutes of Patrignone you could visit dozens of extraordinary wineries, with prices in all ranges. We'll send you a list of our favourites so that you can plan ahead.
