COVID-19 has nixed this year’s festivals, but there is one fast approaching fall pastime that hasn’t been affected by the global pandemic – la raccolta delle olive (olive harvest).

Forget Barolo and Chianti. There are hundreds of indigenous grape varieties in ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, which make wines that you probably have never tried.

With its great beaches, relaxed country atmosphere and green spaces, Southern Tuscany is a fantastic holiday destination for families. So, pack up the kids, hop in the minivan and get out of the city and into the countryside, as we share our top tips for travelling with the family in tow.
