Tuscan Food & Fun! While staying at the beautiful Borgo di Véscine Country Relais, learn the secrets of Tuscan Cuisine under the watchful eye of the hotel's renowned Chef. Then feel the breeze and savour the scents of ancient olive trees & vineyards as you tour the stunning Chianti countryside on an iconic Vespa!

Day 1 Arrival

Make your way to Borgo di Vèscine for check-in. Spend the remainder of the day at Borgo di Vèscine where you can relax by the beautiful panoramic swimming pool which overlooks the entire valley, play tennis on the private tennis court, go horse-riding at the nearby stables or visit the surrounding area on mountain bikes reserved for hotel guests.

Day 2 Tuscan Food

Start your day with a leisurely breakfast enjoying the magnificent views, then perhaps participate in a guided wine tasting of Vèscine’s famed wines. In the afternoon learn the secrets of Tuscan Cuisine as you take part in a cooking course, led by the hotel’s chef. During the lesson, you'll learn to cook a typical Chianti dinner - Tuscan antipasto, homemade pasta, a main dish of grilled meats & grilled organic vegetables and, to top it all off, the classic sweet 'Tiramisu'. The menu may vary according to the availability of seasonal ingredients. After the lesson, participants will enjoy the dishes they have prepared accompanied by Vèscine wines. (B.D)

You will be picked up at your Hotel and taken to the countryside where your will receive an orientation conducted by an English speaking trained professional ensuring the safe operation of the Vespa. Travelling by Vespa is fun and easy. These new scooters have an electric start and automatic transmission. You will drive along quiet and scenic country roads offering splendid views of the rolling hillside and visiting different small medieval villages in the heart of Tuscany. The local guide will lead you along quiet back roads amongst olive groves and vineyards to storybook castles and hilltop villages.
