Like a Tuscan

You can fully immerse yourself in a culture immensely proud of its Gothic architecture, rich cuisine, and, of course, celebrated wines.
You can live a life in Tuscany that is truly informed by little joys, simple pleasures, and above all else warm hospitality.

CONNECT THROUGH COMMUNITY
Over wine and pasta
From the moment you land at the airport, you’ll feel connected to a diverse community of wine enthusiasts who will be your cohorts throughout your Sojrn.
Together, you’ll share morning espressos, lively meals, day trips to the countryside, and authentic experiences as you forge bonds, friendships, and a brand-new community that far outlasts your time in Tuscany.
You’ll be guided by in-the-know local experts and hosts as you traverse a patchwork of hillside vineyards and labyrinthine medieval neighborhoods.
LEARN ABOUT WINE
Let your curiosity lead you
Sojrn Hosts will guide you from city shops and streets to vineyard tours, tastings, and lessons from experts in the Tuscan world of wine.
Sip the bold and complex reds of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino and the crisp and refreshing whites of Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Tuscan wines offer a diverse range of flavors and aromas.
You’ll learn that the region's long history of winemaking has led to a deep understanding of the relationship between terroir, climate, and grape varietals, resulting in wines that reflect the unique character of their origin.
