Parents Visiting Italy? Plan a Taste of Tuscany Wine & Food Day

It’s safe to say you feel like a new person after a few months of studying abroad. You’ve experienced multiple new cultures, eaten foods you’ve never even heard of and managed to direct a taxi driver in a language that isn’t your own. You’ve been away from home for a long time which means you’re starting to miss your parents. Chances are high that not only were your parents missing you too, they were also happy to have an excuse to come to Italy for a visit.

Your parents have made the trip to visit you in Italy. You’ve shown them the Duomo, wnadered through historic streets, and introduced them to your favorite pizza and gelato spots. Now it’s time to show them another side of Italy: the Tuscan countryside.

Just outside the city, the Chianti region offers rolling vineyards, local wines, and the kind of long Italian lunch that makes you want to put your phone away and enjoy the moment. Bus2alps’ Taste of Tuscany day trip gives you a way to experience the region together, with visits to two wineries and a traditional three-course Tuscan lunch.

Whether your parents are visiting Florence for a few days or you’re looking for a memorable experience to share during their trip, a day in Tuscany can be a highlight of their visit—and yours.

Your time abroad has made you grow in ways that you never could have imagined, and your parents will definitely take notice. As the wine flows, your parentals will find inspiration to tell you stories you’ve never heard and stories they never thought of telling you. Like that time your Dad got food poisoning in Ireland or when your Mom backpacked through Eastern Europe for a few weeks with a man named Hans. No matter the story, you will find that your relationship with your parents is on a whole new level.

Planning a Taste of Tuscany Day with your Parents
