Relax with spa treatments inspired by local herbs and flowers, start your mornings with yoga under olive trees, or take peaceful walks through Chianti's vineyards that feel more like exploring than exercise. Plus, you can join cooking classes to learn all about making healthy (and delicious) Tuscan dishes.

Get in touch to explore all that Tuscany has to offer or discover other trending wellness destinations for 2025!
