On this tour, coccoli—and baci, and crostini, and more—steal the show.

From endless plains to elegant hilltop towns, Tuscany and Umbria have plenty in common—including a culinary tradition that would make your nonna proud. As you drive with your group across these regions, you’ll find fine wines and humble, time-honored bites at each stop. And don’t overlook those classic sights: Feast your eyes on Florence and Siena (and Rome on the extension) to truly savor this country’s big, bold culture.
