Tuscany continues to amaze us throughout the fall season. Temperatures are mild, truffles, chestnuts, and mushrooms make an appearance on the menu, and the vineyards and woodlands are alive with rich reds, burnt oranges, and yellows. At the same time, the famous rolling hills acquire the golden colors that make them resemble the familiar countryside scenes of the Renaissance paintings.

Verdant cypress trees, silver-green olive groves, and rustic terracotta tile roofs complete the picture, while the occasional stone house emerging from the mist adds to the scene’s idyllic charm.

The slower pace and cooler temperatures invite you to wander aimlessly along medieval cobblestone alleys full of surprises, explore the area’s art-filled churches and museums, eat your way around charming food markets, enjoy leisurely alfresco lunches, and discover a wealth of festivals celebrating the region’s bounty. 

Here, anything related to the table is treated with great importance, as people love to celebrate the bounty of the autumn season in style, while the new wine quietly ferments in barrels.

Another seasonal delight awaits in Chianti, where truffles lie hidden in Tuscany’s woodlands, waiting to be discovered by you and your expert guide, a “tartufaio.” Along with your group and a specially trained dog, you’ll embark on an exciting truffle hunt, followed by a delicious truffle feast prepared by your private chef at the villa. It’s an experience not to be missed.

At Villa Adore, Autumn is also a great season to turn indoors, find rest, move from coffee to wine, relax in front of the fireplace, take a cooking or pizza-making class, book a massage, and indulge at the spa. 

Here, the soothing embrace of the steam bath and sauna offers complete mind and body therapy, enriched by warm aromatic infusions. The sunken indoor whirlpool, framed by large arched doors with views of the vineyards, creates a true oasis of tranquility.
