Food, Wine & Scenic Trails in Tuscany & Umbria

Tuscany and Umbria invite you to slow down and walk in step with the rhythm of the land. This thoughtfully paced journey starts in Florence and traces the ancient pilgrim paths of the Via Francigena, weaving through cypress-lined hillsides, vineyard-covered slopes, and medieval towns that have stood the test of time. You’ll pass through storybook villages like Monteriggioni and Montefioralle, pause for picnic lunches among the vines of Lamole, and stroll through the same sun-dappled countryside that inspired scenes in *Gladiator*. From Chianti to the Val d’Orcia, the focus here is on connecting with Italy through its landscapes, its food, and its people. You’ll enjoy rustic farmhouse meals, sample local wines and cheeses, and even try your hand at preparing traditional dishes with a local chef in Umbria. Ending in Rome, you’ll have time to explore the Eternal City by foot or Vespa, taking in its layers of history and culture at your own pace. Designed for active travellers who appreciate comfort, this small-group experience is part of the Geluxe Collection—where immersive walking, authentic cuisine, and well-chosen stays come together in harmony.
