The hills between Florence and Siena have been producing wine for three thousand years. The black rooster of the Gallo Nero marks the original Chianti territory — and the finest expression of Sangiovese in Tuscany. We know the producers, the vineyards and the tables that make this zone worth a dedicated journey.

Matera is one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban settlements in the world, and one of the most extraordinary places in Italy. The wine produced on the volcanic slopes an hour to the north is one of the most powerful red wines in the peninsula. Together, they form a southern Italian itinerary with no equivalent.

The Val d'Orcia is the landscape that defines the popular image of Tuscany. The three towns at its heart — Montalcino, Montepulciano and Pienza — produce between them two of Italy's greatest red wines and one of its finest cheeses. We design the itinerary that does justice to all three.

An hour north of Venice, the Prosecco Hills rise in vine-striped terraces that no machine can work. The wine made here — tasted at source, in the specific vineyard that produced it — is something quite unlike the version of its name that travels the world.

The region that invented the concept of cucina ricca invites a particular kind of travel: early mornings, working kitchens, the people who know. Parma is not a city that needs to explain itself to anyone who has tasted its products properly. We arrange the conditions for that tasting.

From secret Chianti cellars to dawn flights over the Val d'Orcia — how to experience Tuscany the way it was meant to be seen, felt, and tasted.
