1. Perfect weather
Late spring and early autumn have mild and comfortable weather, perfect for exploring Tuscany’s stunning landscapes and historic towns. In late spring, the weather is warm but not muggy, with average daytime temperatures ranging from 60°F to 75°F. The countryside is full of life, with vibrant green fields and wildflowers dotting the rolling hills.
In early autumn, Tuscany turns into a golden paradise. The vineyards take on warm tones of red and gold, and harvest season brings a festive energy to the region. Temperatures are equally pleasant, ranging from 65°F to 80°F, perfect for outdoor activities and leisurely walks.
2. Fewer crowds
Unlike the busy summer months, late spring and early fall are quieter times, offering a more intimate and relaxing experience. You can visit iconic hilltop villages like Montalcino and Montepulciano without the crowds. For us discerning travelers, this added an extra layer of authenticity as we explored hidden untourized areas with the help of local private guides.
3. Seasonal Highlights
Every season has its own unique charm. Late spring showcases the best of Tuscany’s natural beauty, with lush landscapes and blooming flowers. It’s also the season for outdoor festivals celebrating art, food and culture. On the other hand, early autumn is synonymous with harvest. Now is the time to indulge in the freshest olive oil, sample freshly pressed wine and enjoy meals prepared by our private chef using the finest seasonal ingredients.
