About this tour
Spend four hours painting outdoors in rolling Tuscan hills while sampling local wines and charcuterie. Tara and Branton run intimate sessions for small groups, welcoming absolute beginners through experienced painters. You'll work at your own pace—whether sketching, using pre-drawn templates, or painting from scratch—with guidance available but no formal instruction. The real aim is to decompress, sip regional wines, nibble on local cheeses and cured meats, and let the countryside settle into you.

What to expect
You'll arrive at a quiet Tuscan spot and be handed materials suited to your confidence level. If you've never held a brush, start with pre-sketched canvas or a colouring template. If you're keen to paint freely, canvases and a full acrylic palette await. Branton can advise on technique if you get stuck, but there's no pressure to perform—this is about enjoying the moment. Between brushstrokes, you'll graze on local salumi, pecorino, fresh bread drizzled in olive oil, and work through a selection of regional wines. Four hours passes quietly; many find themselves surprised at what they've created.
