Why not combine the discovery of Cortona with Wine tasting and local produce?Because Wine has been part of our tradition since the time of the Etruscans who used it to celebrate festivals and honour their dead
At the time of Etruscan civilization, vines were trained to grow up trees and wine was exported from the Tyrrenian Sea south to Sicily and north to southern Wales.
‘TUSCAN WINE TOUR’ is an itinerary intended to re-discover our tradition in a land where WINE-MAKING has become an ART recognized around the world
