A Great Reason for Every Season

Events & Specialities Guide

The Guidebook ‘A Great Reason for Every Season. Tuscany - The Events & Specialities Guide is an extensive guide and almanac containing precise locations and dates pertaining to the vast world of hand made products and traditional events throughout the region of Tuscany. Don’t keep to the major tourist trails, important as they are, but get on to the minor roads is the theme throughout the book. You’ll be amazed at what you find and you’ll have a lot of fun will finding it .

Divided season by season, the guide is focused on the important aspects that make Tuscany unique: art & handicraft, food & wine, nature, sport & well being, festivals and traditional parades, everyday aspects of life that Tuscans live year round. This guide gives a helping hand with meeting the people, seeing the things they create, sample the food, wine and products they dedicate their lives to. You’ll experience the beauty of the Tuscan countryside – its colours and scents, the birds in the morning and the owls in the evening, the sun’s reflections on the sea, the drama of thunderstorms, the warm summer breeze and the icicles glinting on the boughs….

This is the bottom line: Tuscany is not a mere dream, but a real place with real people who have worked their way out of history and into the 21st century all while retaining the values of their ancestors. It is important to convey to you that this guide is not a list of tourist facilities/accommodation, but rather genuine suggestions that we believe to be unique and of the utmost quality. Each topic included is the fruit of our work and most careful research and not at the request of restaurants/ hotels, businesses, in this we believe that it offers the best service to the tourist by not serving as paid advertising to the structures mentioned. Those who have contributed to the project are all Tuscan producers or citizens because it is these people who are truly able to give genuine advice or suggestions being as they are passionate connoisseurs of the reality in which they live.

The Guide is written in English and in a handy pocket format (11X16 cm), with a useful and retro graphic design with boxes and frames.
