Taste of Tuscany with a dash of Puccini
Seven nights of curated luxury, reserved for the few.
April 25 - May 2, 2026
All Inclusive from Florence
8 Days, 7 Nights in Tuscany
Tuscany holds a timeless magic—golden hills, historic villages, and a natural love of life that has made it a favorite of A Culinary Society. This April, we return once more to experience the region’s beauty, flavors, and warm hospitality.
We’ll stay in a privately owned villa surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, the perfect base for exploring Tuscany’s rich culinary world. From family-run farms to exceptional wineries, each day offers authentic tastes and unforgettable views.
Joining us is Joe Fattorini, world-renowned wine expert, who will guide us through Tuscany’s celebrated vineyards with curated wine and food pairings that deepen our connection to the land.
Our journey also brings us to Lucca, the birthplace of Giacomo Puccini, where music still lingers within the city’s ancient walls. Here, a curated Puccini experience offers an intimate connection to the composer’s life and legacy, adding a lyrical dimension to our time in Tuscany.
From leisurely lunches to evenings filled with conversation and the finest Tuscan wines, this journey captures the true essence of la dolce vita. Tuscany welcomes us back—and we can’t wait to share it with you.
