Winding through the Tuscan hills, the wine roads offer travel itineraries within remarkable viticulture areas which are characterized by vineyards and wine cellars and also by landscape, historical attractions in a frame where all kinds of comfort is offered to welcome tourists.

Along the wine road signs point out clearly places for lodging, especially farm holidays. Information services are available all over an area where vineyard control is guaranteed by strict quality standards. Any time of the year is suitable to participate in these itineraries, whose beauty reveals itself in various ways at any change of season.

The approach to wine is not only characterized by the simple act of tasting it, but it goes along with visits to vineyards, tastes of typical dishes and attendance to cultural events.

Tuscany is the first region, among all the others in Italy, which has promoted the realization of these itineraries.

Tuscany, which is well-know for its extensive and fascinating landscape, is as well as famous all over the world for its good quality wines and the special taste of its gastronomy.

Along the wine road itinerary in the Tuscan region, and even beyond the beaten tracks, a full patrimony of culture and popular knowledge is offered to those who really want to appreciate the high value of discovering tastes and emotions in relation to wine and all life's aspects associated with it.

Along the road wine in the Pisan Hills you can found an important project named La Mia Toscana’ (My Tuscany), that offers tourists solutions in fascinating itineraries. You can choose from the wine and gastronomic itineraries (Tuscan cooking classes, wine tasting and tasting of other typical products, escorted gastronomic excursions), to trekking itineraries (escorted excursions on the Tuscan hills, by foot, on mountain bike, horse-riding), cultural itineraries (escorted excursions in the discovery of medieval villages, castles and handicraft products, Italian language lessons) up to relax and comfort itineraries (with treatments at the Thermal baths) and to golfing (in combination with culture, gastronomy and art).

Pisa Airport "Galileo Galilei" is the main destination for Tuscany and central Italy (after Rome), and is served by several airlines operating hundreds of weekly flights to national and international destinations. Numerous companies offer charter flights to and from a number of European and non-European destinations. Flying to Pisa is really cheap and easy: the most important low cost flights companies reach Pisa, and the airport is 5 minutes away from the centre of the town by bus, train or taxi.
