AUTUMN SEASON AND WINERY ACTIVITIES
While summer is the most popular time to visit Tuscany, many travelers will agree that Autumn is one of the most exciting and unforgettable moments in the year.
Harvest season is in full swing which means new wine and olive oil tasting, and the hunt for winter white truffles begins.
Tuscany is considered the leading producer of extra-virgin olive oil in the world. This region in Central Italy is blessed with luscious olive groves and rolling vineyards, growing several types of olives.
You’ll often hear Tuscans refer to extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) as oro verde (“green gold”). Unlike regular olive oil, extra-virgin is pressed without heat and chemicals, making it the most expensive and desirable oil in the world.
Thanks to this experience you will be able to discover the art and skill behind the production of Tuscany's green gold. Unlike wine, another defining Tuscan gem, extra-virgin olive oil comes directly from the tree.
Freshness and authenticity are rich in Tuscan EVOO, reminding you of its natural sourcing with every taste.
