As the temperatures begin their steady decline, Tuscany's Autumn leaves create a kaleidoscope of vivid colours worth seeing. Truffle-lovers can go hunting or visit the hillside of San Miniato between September and December to find their own truffles and then learn how to cook and eat them. "Whilst many will look to Northern Italy and the Istrian border for their truffles, the Tuscan hillsides are arguably richer for their crop of top-drawer tartufo bianco pregiato," says Marchant.
