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.

Day 5
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
Day 4
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

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!

Day 2
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.
