Sometimes the best getaways are the ones that feel like home. DuVine's villas are hand-selected for their proximity to fully customizable cycling routes and activities that typify the region—whether it’s wine tasting, market-going, hiking, or truffle hunting—so you can live and play like a local. Add a private chef to enjoy local cuisine on your own time, and decide how to spend each day as it comes. For groups like our seeking ultimate flexibility and full-service luxury, unpack once and let the vacation come to you. 

On the heels of our highly successful trip this year to Burgundy, we are now scheduling a 2023 trip to Tuscany. Again partnering with DuVine Cycling + Adventure Co. (voted #1 in Travel & Leisure this year), we will be hosting a 7-day Italian trip featuring our very own private villa compound, a private chef and staff, planned and fully supported bicycling routes, and many other activities for those not inclined to ride everyday.  Further e-bikes are available for rent as we did this year in Burgundy.
