Tuscany Journey – October 2023

by Emily Anderson

In October 2023, our group embarked on an unforgettable journey to the heart of Tuscany—a region renowned for its world-class wines, cultural treasures, and iconic rolling landscapes, where olive groves, cypress trees, and vineyards paint a timeless scene.

We wandered through medieval towns, marveling at the seamless blend of past and present, and deepened our appreciation for this region known as the cradle of the Renaissance. Our days were filled with hands-on experiences, including open-air pasta-making classes and explorations of Siena’s historic seventeen districts, known collectively as the Contrade.

A standout moment was our visit to the Castiglioni cheese caves, where we enjoyed exclusive tastings of artisan cheeses in a setting that felt like stepping back in time.

We concluded our journey in Florence, where a private guide led us through the city’s rich artistic heritage. We visited Michelangelo’s David—skipping the lines—and ended our Tuscan adventure with a beautiful farewell dinner alongside our guide, reflecting on the incredible memories we had made.
