The itinerary
We are thrilled to welcome you to "The Eternal City".
We'll pick you up from the airport and give you some time to check in to our stunning, centrally located accommodations before heading to our welcome dinner at a traditional vegan restaurant in the city. You’ll enjoy a four course tasting menu of Italian classics and some bonding with your fellow travelers. Of course, complete with a welcome glass of prosecco (or a non alcoholic beverage) and "salute" to a wonderful week ahead!
Meals included: dinner
After a delicious vegan breakfast at the hotel, we’ll get our walking shoes on and meet up with Rome native, Roberta, for a fully vegan walking tour of the city. We’ll get to try all the local vegan bites and learn about naturally local vegan cuisine. You’ll get to try the perfect combo of naturally vegan Roman dishes and veganized versions of Italian classics!
Then, in the afternoon, we’ll meet up with our local history guide for a unique tour of the Colosseum before having some free time to explore the city!
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, additional snacks
The morning is yours to enjoy in Rome! Do some shopping, wander the streets, visit a museum, or just enjoy some extra beauty sleep. We’ll give you a list of recommendations of our favorite things to eat, see, and do on a fabulous morning in Rome.
In the afternoon, we’ll hop on a private bus to Tuscany to continue our adventure in the countryside.
We’ll settle into our retreat in the Tuscan countryside, Borgo Tignano just in time for dinner!
Meals included: breakfast, dinner
Did someone say vegan wine?!
After a delicious breakfast at our stunning accommodations, we’ll head off to a Tuscan wine tour. Yes, not all wine is vegan but many Tuscan wine makers have employed fully vegan winemaking processes. From utilizing fava beans, nettle, and sulfur instead of animal manure for a more sustainable approach to a plant based fining process, we’ll see Tuscany’s most innovative winemakers.
We’ll start the day at a local winery with a tasting and then head to a local vegan agrivilla for a second wine tasting and a multi course vegan lunch directly from their farm.
We’ll end the tour in the iconic San Gimingiano for some free time and shopping.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, additional snacks
Nothing says “Italy” quite like a cooking class!
After another delicious vegan breakfast at our accommodations, we’ll join the chef of our stunning hotel in the kitchen to cook a three course (yes, fully vegan) meal! Starting with a Tuscan appetizer, local pasta dish, and a delicious, naturally vegan dessert, you’ll leave with new and improved Italian cooking skills and the ability to make vegan fresh pasta!
You’ll have the rest of the day free to lounge by the pool or take in the scenery.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch
It’s not Tuscany without seeing Florence!
We’ll take a day trip into Florence to explore the city and go on a vegan food and history tour with our local city expert. This is where we’ll get to try some delectable Tuscan truffles, Italian olive oil, vegan biscotti, and of course, vegan gelato.
We’ll return to our lovely hotel in Tuscany for a five course farewell dinner under the stars.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner
Time to say our farewells!
Ciao Italy! It’s been real! We’ll do a group breakfast at the hotel and the head back to the Florence airport as a group. Or, if you’d like,

What’s the weather like in Italy?
Rome and Tuscany are best enjoyed during the "shoulder seasons". In spring and fall, you can expect pleasant weather—generally ranging from the mid-60s to mid-70s °F—with blooming landscapes in May and June and golden harvest colors in September and October.
We run our trips during these months to give you the best of Italy: comfortable temperatures, vibrant scenery, and the perfect atmosphere for exploring historic cities and the Tuscan countryside. And also, avoid the summer crowds and high heat.
meet your trip leader
Born and raised in Sardinia, Federica started travelling in her twenties across Europe and north Africa, and met people from all over the world which made her fall in love with travelling.
A few years later she went back to her home region and started working in tourism and event management such as the World Rally Championship. 2006 is when she became vegetarian after driving right behind a truck which was carrying a number of lambs to the slaughterhouse during Easter time.
It took some years to turn vegan and start studying nutrition as well as vegan pastry so that she could share her products with everyone. Her son Gioele has also been vegan since birth and enjoys travelling with her mum and ranking food from different countries while embracing different cultures.
