Italy: Tuscany

Europe’s culinary paradise can be found in Tuscany, one of Italy’s most celebrated regions. With Florence as its capital, this land of rolling hills is shaped by vineyards producing Chianti, along with olive groves and cypress lined roads.

Once the heart of the Renaissance, Tuscany is filled with masterpieces by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Donatello, found in museums, churches, and towns across the region.

Its cuisine is built on simple, high quality ingredients, from wild boar and steaks to white truffles and the rich harvest of local produce. This lifestyle, culture, and food drew Mária from Bratislava here fourteen years ago. Today, she shows us why Tuscany is a place to savour with all the senses.
