Show Details

Escape to Cortona, one of Tuscany's oldest hill towns, where strolls down the narrow medieval streets reward you with glimpses of impressive churches and incredible views of the countryside. With accommodations in one of three contemporary private apartments, you're perfectly poised to explore the romance of the Italian countryside - with its breathtaking scenery, historic cities, medieval art, impeccable wines and divine cuisine, not to mention an enviable proximity to Florence and Rome! The region is a true feast for your senses - and speaking of feasts, you'll participate in a cooking class, savor lunch in a winery after a tour, and go food tasting or learn all about cheese making!

Just one hour drive from arguably the most beautiful city in the world, Florence, and less than two hours' drive to historic Rome, Tuscany hosts innumerable astounding localities, many of which are also named UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From the Etruscans to the Romans to the Renaissance, Tuscany is possibly the greatest repository of art in the world, with extraordinary paintings and sculptures, frescoes and architectural masterpieces. Spend some time exploring the landmarks of historic Cortona, such as the Piazza della Republica, the 13th century town hall and clock tower that is now one of Cortona's main plazas, or the Duomo, the Renaissance cathedral featuring an 11th century facade and gorgeous 16th and 17th century paintings inside.

Immerse yourself in the Tuscan lifestyle during your stay in a recently renovated two-bedroom apartment set in the center of Cortona. Enjoy the stylish residences, which feature modern comforts and contemporary flair, from open sitting areas to fully-equipped kitchens, views to central air-conditioning and heating. Your Tuscan home away from home is in an exceptional location within walking distance from the main squares and attractions, in addition to various restaurants, bars and shops.

Then it's time to say buon appetito! You'll participate in a cooking class at a restaurant just a few steps from your apartment, where you'll learn about the culinary traditions and techniques as two courses are explained and prepared. Afterwards, you can feast on the fruits of your labor!

You'll love your tour and lunch at La Braccesca Estate! Near the border between Tuscany and neighboring Umbria, La Braccesca Estate is situated in two very close, but entirely different, zones: Montepulciano, the classic and prestigious area of "Vino Nobile", and Cortona, which has made a name for itself in world markets with international grape varieties, specifically syrah. These two different "souls", the essential spirit of the different terroirs, represent La Braccesca's style - a harmony between the past and the future, a synergy of its professional mastery and its passion for quality. Then dine on a delectable lunch comprised of a Tuscan appetizer, a main course and dessert, all while tasting complimentary wines.

Set out for a three-hour guided walking tour of Cortona on the Foodie Tour, and fall in love with the quaint town from "Under the Tuscan Sun". Visit some of the local spots to sample tasty treats and delicacies, and wind down your tour in true Italian style with a large spoon for your gelato and cappuccino to sip. From cozy cafes to alfresco dining, seasonally fresh menus to arrays of risottos and pastas, this is sure to be a feast for your senses!

Aged versus fresh, or made with sheep's, goat's or cow's milk, there are more than 30 types of cheeses recognized as traditional products in Tuscany! Tuscan cheeses are made following ancient techniques and production processes handed down over the centuries. This cheese making tour offers you a private demonstration led by local cheese makers as they teach you about the science and art of making this dairy favorite, followed by a hands-on class.
