Tuscany Travel Tips
One of the most popular italian destinations is without doubt Tuscany! If you're travel planning for an Italian vacation in a near future Tuscany should be on your Bucketlist!
Tuscany, Italy is perfect to travel, if you love food travel and historical sights combined with Mediterranean beaches and the wonderful Tuscan landscape. And you sure might have found a Tuscany Travel Guide with Travel Tips for Tuscany already.
However, this is my personal travel guide from a three day itinerary with travel tips for Italy and exclusively Tuscan Destinations.
Hope you'll find new Italian Travel Inspiration and helpful Tuscany Travel Tips below!
No 1 Spend Time by the Mediterranean Sea
When thinking about Tuscany we usually imagine green fields, cypresses and olive trees spread out with typical farm houses and vineyards in a rolling, hilly terrain. It's easy to forget that the Mediterranean Sea and the Mediterranean Coast always is near in Toscana.
You really should enjoy the Mediterranean region of Tuscany while visiting Italy. Best time to visit Tuscany is in September I would say, and I'm not saying that just because that was the time for my visit. This time of the year the Mediterranean climate is wonderful; still varm and sunny.

No 2 Visit a Vineyard for a Wine Tour with Winery Tasting
Another Travel Tip is to visit a Vineyard and Winery. Tuscany is a great wine region and especially Bolgheri; world famous for their Bordeaux styled wine also known as Super Tuscans. Take a Wine Tour and Winery Tour to experience wine making up . September is also the best time of year to visit a vineyard in Italy.
I was visiting the Ornellaia Wine Estate and Vineyards in September, when the vineyard vines rows was full of small groups picking Merlot Grapes. With Grape Harvest in full swing, this vineyard tour became a very special one.
I had a fantastic winery tasting at Ornellaia and Masseto Winery with some Super Tuscan Wine of the highest quality. I can recommend Ornellaia if you're looking for a Wine Tour Tuscany event. Ornellaia is one of the best vineyard and winery you can find in Toscana and the Vineyatd Tour was professional and interesting.

No 3 Enjoy the Tuscan Cuisine
Italian Tuscan Cuisine is synonymous with healthy Mediterranean food! Tuscan Cuisine is known for Mediterranean dishes like charcuterie, cheese, olive oil, seasonal farmers produce, grilled and braised meat - all essential in a Mediterranean Cuisine and a Mediterranean Diet. If you like Food Travel you will love Tuscany and Tuscan Food!
Farmers seasonal produce combined with the authentic, earthy local Tuscan Cuisine goes extremely well with their Tuscan Wine too, so prepere for a Tuscan Feast when visiting Toscana.
