About this trip

Experience the beauty, flavors, and timeless charm of Tuscany with Belinda Jensen on this unforgettable journey through the heart of Italy! For six relaxing nights, enjoy the heart of Tuscany from Borgo Scopeto Wine & Country Relais, a 5-star countryside retreat set among the rolling hills of Chianti Classico near Siena. Surrounded by vineyards, gardens, woods, olive groves, and the timeless beauty of the Tuscan landscape, Borgo Scopeto offers the kind of setting that makes this journey feel truly special. The property blends centuries of history with elegant country style, unique accommodations that preserve the character of a 14th-century village, excellent local cuisine, wine country atmosphere, and peaceful spaces to simply slow down and enjoy Tuscany. Rather than changing hotels, guests can settle in, unpack once, and experience the region from one beautiful home base throughout the week.
