The best season to visit Tuscany

The best time to visit Tuscany depends on your preferences. Spring (April-June) offers mild weather and blooming landscapes. Summer (July-August) is perfect for sun and beaches, but crowded. Autumn (September-October) is great for wine enthusiasts. This is a harvesting season for both wine grapes and olives. Visiting Tuscany during this unique period will give you the chance to witness the beginning of the production of wine and olive oil. Winter (November-February) is quieter, ideal for exploring art and culture.

What to do in Tuscany?

Tuscany is a region rich in culture and is the home of Italian Renaissance art. Here's what you must not miss in between your wine-tasting tours in Tuscany:

Florence is the capital city of Tuscany and one of the most beautiful and fascinating cities in the entire world. Stop by the Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral and admire the incredible Brunelleschi Dome.

Siena, a charming town known for its narrow streets flanked by brick buildings.

Pisa, the city of the Leaning Tower.

Tuscany is one of the world's greatest red wine producers. The most popular are Chianti Classico, Sangiovese and Brunello di Montalcino.

Chianti Classico is a medium to high-bodied red wine and it's the ultimate Tuscan king.

Sangiovese is a more fruit-forward red wine compared to Chianti (even if they come from the same grape).
