Embrace the culture and beauty of Tuscany in a way few people ever experience. Enjoy your accommodations at an authentic wine estate set amid vineyards and overlooking the Tuscan hills. In addition to your cooking lessons with a Michelin-rated chef and under the tutelage of four “Tuscan Mammas,” you will have ample opportunities to sample the wines of the region and tour various wineries. Stroll the vineyards, make your own ricotta, sample olive oils and wine varietals and fully enjoy the Tuscan way of life surrounded by great people and fabulous cuisine. Visit the historic towns throughout the region and enjoy a full day and night in Florence. Availability is limited to just 18 guests. Our 2012 Flavors of Northern and 2013 Flavors of Provence were quite popular and received excellent reviews. We anticipate this trip will also fill quickly, and we urge you to make your reservation today. Yours at Carolina,
