The hallmark of fine quality is never more true than during our tour of artisans in Tuscany. You are greeted by artisans who welcome you as friends into their working studios and factories as they share their entusiasmo and passione for their craft. Handmade, one-of-a-kind products are available to you, directly from the artisans who craft them. Among the many artisans, you visit Nora at her cashmere goat farm, meet Carlo who will measure your feet for customized leather shoes and boots and watch Grazia fashion exquisite embroidery on antique and handmade linens. Other artisan opportunities include ceramics, chocolates, jewelry, mixed media artists and your own artistry at making limoncello!
