Tuscan Wine, Cooking & Language Courses

We are very fortunate to be able to offer our clients the very best when it comes to excursions in Tuscany. One of my favorite agencies that I work with in Florence is run by an Italian language school director who is the creator of an excellent cooking and language program. This is the program that Nikki really is thinking about attending.

Have you ever dreamed of taking a language course in Italy, learning more about wine in Italy and/or learning to cook the Florentine specialties in Florence? How about taking these courses with other people who share your love of everything Italian - then this is for you!

We have an access to an extraordinary one to two week program combining morning language instruction with afternoon culinary and cultural activities and excursions, such as;
  • Orientation Tours of Florence/Tuscany
  • Wine Tastings
  • Vineyard Visits
  • Cooking Lessons
We have enjoyed many wonderful wine tastings at local vineyards in Tuscany with our groups - and I am happy to say that they also offer private tours. We have had much success and positive feedback offering these tours to our clients. Also recommended are full and half day biking tours through Tuscany.

My personal favorites were visiting the Verranzano Vineyards in Greve. The Castle on the Vineyard property is so beautiful and one of the oldest in the area. My agent frient scheduled a beautiful wedding on the property. I remember it as seeing olive and lemon trees for the first time. I also enjoyed the vineyards around Montiacino, which is one of my favorite hill towns. The scenery is breath taking & the wine isn't bad either!!
