OCTOBER IN TUSCANY
What to do and wht to see this Autumn in Tuscany.
The summer holidays are a thing of the past, the sultry heat has given way to the autumn breezes, the rains and the plaids return, the evenings by the fire and the walks in the woods, looking for those colors that only Autumn can give us. The branches of the trees change their appearance, the whole landscape is colored with different tones and the sky is more intense. Autumn is the ideal season for those who love nature for those who love to explore, for all lovers of long walks in the woods. In Tuscany the Autumn offer is vast, October is a month full of events and activities for all those who decide to take holidays now or a simple weekend to get away from the routine of city life.
​
Booking your holiday in the countryside this season means exploring new places, giving space also to small, lesser known but even more characteristic villages, it means enjoying an autumn landscape, sleeping in a typical Tuscan place and accompanied by an atmosphere, the country atmosphere, that will transport you to another era.
Autumn here means roasted chestnuts, the smell of mushrooms and truffles and evenings in front of the fireplace to enjoy a good glass of wine. October is also the month of olives, oil and wine, with parties, festivals and dedicated fairs, such as:
Festa dell’uva e del vino - Chiusi (Siena)
Festa d'Autunno - Abbadia San Salvatore (Siena)
Sagra della Castagna - Cortona
Sagra del Primo Olio - San Giovanni d’Asso (Siena)
Sagra del marrone e dei frutti del sottobosco - Palazzuolo sul Senio (Firenze)
Dolcemente – Pisa.
