New Ways to Explore Tuscany - No More Secrets!
Tuscany, Italy 🇮🇹 has a Mediterranean climate. Although February is winter, the temperature is not particularly low, ranging from about 5-15°C, with more rainfall. Planning to stroll through the fields and enjoy the iconic pastoral scenery, I used to only know about following tour groups, sleeping on the bus, taking photos when getting off, not seeing the beautiful scenery, and feeling very tired!
Check out my recommendations for everyone.
Self-drive vintage car/motorcycle tour in Tuscany. Imagine riding a scooter or driving a convertible, swaying on the green grass, choosing the most beautiful spot, stopping the car, laying out a picnic blanket, basking in the sunlight, and feeling the warmth!
At noon, enjoy authentic Western cuisine and taste Chianti wine! This must be what living like a god feels like.

🎈Best Time to Visit
Actually, the best time to visit Tuscany is from April to October. In April and May, wildflowers bloom all over the mountains, and the green grass looks like a huge velvet carpet. The pastoral scenery at this time is full of spring vitality. September and October are autumn, when grapes are ripe, making it a good time to experience vineyard picking and winemaking, and you can also see the autumn scenery with layers of colors.
