Organic Tuscany

Organic Tuscany focuses on vegetarian cuisine and organic ingredients. Guests stay in a 19th-century castle surrounded by grape and olive orchards in Certaldo, and courses are taught by experienced local cooks. Their five-day courses are limited to nine participants, and they break up daily cooking classes with hikes, tours of Siena and Florence, meals at local restaurants and trips to nearby farms and vineyards.

Capezzana

Located within an hour of Siena, Capezzana offers an authentic experience into Italian food and wine. Guests stay in country farmhouses near Mount Albano.

A five-day course includes daily cooking lessons and tours to surrounding towns and farms, focusing on sources of local meat, wine and produce.

The Awaiting Table

While most cooking tours are centered in scenic Tuscany, the Awaiting Table is located in the pretty town of Lecce. The Awaiting Table offers not only authentic local recipes, but also an enthusiastic introduction to the “Italian” experience. Guests meet the vendors (商贩) at the local markets, participate in daily cooking lessons and even learn some practical Italian. Each day of the week-long course focuses on one type of food, with an educational field trip before the lesson. One-day tours and lessons are also available, as well as lessons specializing in olives.

3 . Still seeking a destination for your holiday? We want to inform you of four best places that are probably a mere walk away from your home.

Highlands

This Scottish destination, only accessible on foot or by boat, is Britain’s last wilderness. Over a week, you’ll hike into the Black Hills, cross the peninsula north to south and set sail for hikes on Skye, Rum and Eigg. Finish each day at a beach-side lodge (小屋), with dinner at the award-winning restaurant next door.

Snowdonia

The Snowdonia Way, the only low-level long-distance route, was only created in 2017, and remains unnoticed on the ground. Join the new guided walking trip and you won’t need to concentrate on directions, just the fine views as you pass falls, forests, riversides and Roman roads.

Hadrian’s Wall

Walking along Hadrian’s Wall is like travelling back in time—and even more so if you do it in expert company. Andante’s hike along the ancient barrier is accompanied by a historian every step of the way, who will point out every Roman road, fort, milecastle and inscription, and tell you all about Hadrian’s tactics and Roman daily life.

Dorest

The Isle of Purbeck is ideal for families: the walking is relatively gentle; the beaches are glorious; the range of other attractions varied; and the buses handy, if little legs get tired. Over a few days, mix rambling the coast and hills (routes are around five or six miles) with steam train rides and sea swims, playing knights at ruined Corfe Castle and fossil-hunting at Kimmeridge Bay.
