The
Tuscan countryside is a very special natural environment where
the age-long, human presence has shaped the outlines of the
hills.
Solitary
farm houses, medieval villages, rows of vines, olive trees,
cypresses: this is Tuscan country. And thanks to
Farmtourism you can enjoy it on a different kind of holiday.
You
can walk down dusty white farm paths, ride a mountain bike
alongside vinesyards and olive orchards or explore marked
trails on horseback and discover the many facets of this
Region while trying out its local products: the famous D.O.C.
wines, the olive-oil, the meats, the cheeses....

With
Farmtourism in Tuscany, you can take cooking lessons, pick up
the basics of ceramics in an old kiln, visit the cellars along
"The wine route of Tuscany", discover Tuscan
handicrafts, listen to a concert in an ancient parish church.....

There
is more than one Tuscany. You already know a Tuscany
famous for its cities of art, its history, its famous
men and their works. But, do you know its landscape and
the honest hospitality of the Tuscan people in for a
holiday ? The
Tuscan countryside is a very special natural environment
where the age-long, human presence has shaped the
outlines of the hills.

The
"Wine Trails of Tuscany" run through
magnificent wine-growing areas which, apart from
the obvious vineyards and wineries, offer an
integrated tourist package of cultural,
historical and natural attractions.
These
trails are also a means of fostering rural
development and of promoting so-called "Enotourism",
that is, setting wine production in a cultural,
environmental, historical and social context.
