Experiencing the real Tuscany, where local flavors, countryside charm, and slow living come together, is nearly impossible without local connections. Hidden farm stays, authentic cooking classes, and access to the Slow Food culture aren’t easy to find on your own. Our three-day retreat near San Gimignano invites you to live like a local with farm-fresh feasts, hands-on cooking, and horseback rides through rolling vineyards.
