Happy Autumn, Tuscany lovers!
As autumn takes shape, the countryside of Tuscany begins to transform.
Every season has its own charm, yet autumn is one of the most magical times to be in Tuscany. The days become shorter and the food meets the demands of the hard working farmers, becoming heartier and robust. During September, there is a buzz of activity in the vineyards as the grapes are harvested. Menus at local restaurants serve full bodied wine and as October and November roll around, that means the arrival of fresh olives, truffles, mushrooms, chestnuts and “vino novello” (Italian for “young wine”).
The weather is ideal for long walks and perfect for tasting the historically rich Tuscan cuisine. The sun shines plenty in Tuscany during the fall, but there are also plenty of enchanting autumn chills that paint the sky beautiful hues of grey and brown. Cooler nights and mornings give us all a good excuse to eat hearty soul food that sticks to one’s ribs. It is the perfect season for food festivals in Tuscany, for tasting wines, cheeses, olive oil, truffles and recipes made fresh that you won’t find anywhere else in the world.
Half of eating depends on the setting. This means more than just the local agriculture and amenities. This includes the culture, people and real estate.
