Experience Tuscany like a true Tuscan!

Join us for a unique and rare opportunity to live and experience life, as it really is, in Tuscany.

In mid October 2010 we'll settle into our private 13th century Panzano villa for seven nights, learn secrets of the Tuscan table from our private chef, make day trips throughout the glorious countryside and admire the breath-taking beauty of historic Tuscan towns at harvest time.

You'll have a lifetime of bragging rights once you've travelled deep into the heart of Tuscany and experienced the perfect meal, the perfect wine and views of the sunflower-dotted fields.

Whether you are visiting Tuscany for the first time or returning to this perennial favourite, we think you'll agree that life doesn't get much better than sitting with a glass of wine or cappuccino watching the sun go down over the vineyards in the Tuscan Valley.

Included in our Women WINE Down in Tuscany Tour 2010 we have a special excursion planned that features a private cooking class, lunch and wine tasting at the estate of Castello Della Paneretta. (read on to learn more about their famous wine)
