Countless Americans have Italy on their bucket list! Among the Italian regions, the one they love the most is definitely Tuscany, in the central part of the peninsula. Americans love Tuscany, from delicious food to charming landscapes to art, to history (it is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance) and culture (it is the foundation of the Italian language).

Which makes it ripe for self-guided gourmet explorations. We've cherry-picked the best food and drink experiences so you can cook up your very own Tuscan foodie road trip".
