TUSCANY
8 DAYS, 7 NIGHTS, 4 ROUNDS OF GOLF
Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history, artistic legacy, and its influence on high culture. It is regarded as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and for its foundations in the Italian language that is an elaboration of the Tuscan dialect’s use in literature by poets such as Dante Alighieri, Petrarca, Boccaccio, Machiavelli, and Guicciardini. Tuscany is a region located in the central part of Italy, with the beautiful and picturesque Florence, the regions capital. Tuscany is also world renowned for its high-quality production of wines such as Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Morellino di Scansano, Brunello di Montalcino, the white Vernaccia di San Gimignano and all the "super Tuscan" wines in the Maremma area. In the golfing world though, Tuscany is considered a late developer compared to other regions throughout Italy but now there are a multitude of quality courses on offer throughout the region.
