Tuscany for Trekkers
Oenophile or not, a trip to Tuscany will give you a taste of the good life. And since there’s such a large spread to cover – all of it densely packed with rambling vineyards, cypress-dotted hillsides, and centuries-old hamlets – we recommend a walking tour to optimize your mileage, allow you to fully immerse yourself in the glorious beauty of the winelands, and get some exercise to boot. Backroads, a well-known active-travel company, offers a guided six-day tour that unites individual travelers along ancient footpaths north of Siena and in Chianti's historic hill towns, with plenty of world-famous wines and traditional Tuscan cuisine to sample en-route. The trip begins in Florence and wraps in Siena, covers five nights in upscale inns and villas (you’re either paired with a fellow trekker or you can request a private room for a fairly steep supplement), nearly all meals, and more in June and September, 2008.
