Full Review
There are not enough words to truly convey how wonderful Culture Discovery Vacations are! It was the most amazing vacation of my life. I spent a week based in Radda in Chianti in Tuscany with lovely guides/hosts Ilaria and Linda. It was a perfect week filled with the most decadent of cooking classes, visits to small picturesque wineries, majestic old towns, and afternoons spent in age old villas or farmhouses cooking with fantastic chefs and families. The pace of the week was delightful. We were never rushed. I felt very relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food, beautiful wine and laughing as new friendships were forged with 8 wonderful people that started off the week as strangers meeting in a foreign land. One week was perfect hitting all of the key towns one must see in Tuscany. Oh, Cortona, you have my heart! There was plenty of time to rest, shop, walk the small towns or just sit in a Piazza and sip on a cold local beer or glass of prosecco. The chefs, tours, guides, wineries and restaurants are all carefully selected and it really is a wonderful variety sprinkled in over the week, which would unfortunately end all too soon. I cannot say enough good things about this company and the tour. Perfectly planned, perfectly executed and the memories and friendships will last me a lifetime! Thank you Culture Discovery Vacations! Thank you Ilaria and Linda! I will see you and Italy again!
