Ontdek glutenvrij Toscane: de ultieme gids voor reizigers met coeliakie of een glutenvrij dieet
Wil je altijd al naar Toscane, Italië, maar denk je dat het land van pasta en pizza onmogelijk is voor glutenvrije reizigers? Of weet je wel dat er ergens opties zijn, maar heb je geen tijd om dit uit te zoeken? Dan heb ik goed nieuws! Ik ben zelf op reis geweest naar Toscane en heb hier fantastisch gegeten en voelde mij bijna als een normale reiziger. Wil je bijna 50 eetopties hebben door heel Toscane; in Florence, Siena, van de grens van Umbrië tot Cinque Terre? Dan is dit de gids voor jou!
Waarom deze gids?
Ik heb vele reisboekjes, online blogs en de Italiaanse coeliakie vereniging website doorzocht om veilige en leuke eetopties te vinden. Tijdens mijn vakantie heb ik deze opties zelf kunnen uitproberen en enorm van mijn reis genoten. Je hoeft dus zelf niet meer het uitzoekwerk te doen; alles is verzameld in een Google Maps-gids die je kunt downloaden en offline kunt gebruiken op reis. Niet meer vol zorgen of je iets kunt eten of rondlopen met droge crackers of voorverpakt brood terwijl je anderen ziet genieten van lekker eten. Je kunt nu zelf kiezen waar je zin in hebt, direct daar naartoe gaan en genieten! Hoe fijn is dat?
Wat deze gids je biedt:
> 100% Glutenvrije bakkerijen en restaurants: geniet zorgeloos van heerlijk eten.
> AIC-Keurmerk restaurants: restaurants met het keurmerk van Associazione Italiana Celiachia (vergelijkbaar met de Horeca alliantie Lekker Glutenvrij van de NCV), waar je veilig kunt eten.
> Restaurants met glutenvrije opties: waar ik zonder problemen heb gegeten en van genoten.
> Gelateria: lijst met ijswinkels waar je kan genieten van een ijsje.
> Bonus: restaurants die ik heb opgezocht, maar zelf nog niet heb kunnen uitproberen.
Veiligheid voorop:
De 100% glutenvrije restaurants en bakkerijen kan je natuurlijk zonder zorgen bezoeken. Daarnaast garandeert het AIC-keurmerk dat de restaurants getest zijn op hun kennis en veiligheid in de keuken. Toch is het altijd belangrijk om bij elk bezoek te communiceren over je dieetwensen en vragen te stellen over mogelijke kruisbesmetting. Vooral als je coeliakie hebt, helpt het om dieetvertalingen bij je te hebben (deze zijn gratis te verkrijgen voor NCV-leden).
Laat je niet tegenhouden door je dieet en ontdek de schoonheid en smaak van Toscane. Met deze gids geniet je van een zorgeloze, glutenvrije vakantie!
Koop nu jouw glutenvrije gids en begin aan een onvergetelijke reis naar het hart van Italië. Buon viaggio!

Welcome to the enchanting region of Tuscany, where rolling hills, historic cities, and culinary delights await you. In this gluten-free travel guide I share the best spots in Tuscany, from Cinque Terre to Montepulciano and from the coast to Umbria, including Florence, Sienna and Lucca. Tuscany offers many gluten-free options if you know where to look!
I'll navigate you through the best gluten-free dining experiences Tuscany has to offer so you can enjoy the authentic flavors of the region without having to worry about dietary restrictions. You'll benefit from my personal insights gained from exploring Tuscany's gluten-free options. As a fellow traveler with Celiac disease (20+ years), I understand the importance of finding reliable and delicious options while traveling. I'll share my favorite spots and must-try dishes.
In my experience the larger cities in Italy are well informed on Celiac and cross-contamination risks. The safest places would be 100% gluten free shops and restaurants that I listed first in the guide. Other than that your best bet are the places that are AiC accredited. AiC is the Associazione Italiana Celiachia, the Italian national celiac society that checks the knowledge of the restaurants of celiac disease and visits to check if the restaurants are following the necessary protocol for preparing gluten free food.
I do want to note that even though there are great gluten free places and options listed here, it is always important to communicate and ask questions everywhere and every time you go! Especially if you have Celiac disease, having a celiac translation card with you helps to communicate the risks of cross contamination and the do's and don'ts. For all restaurants it's important to go through the following three steps:
1) Always inform staff about your diet and which ingredients you absolutely must avoid
2) Always ask for the ingredients of the dishes you intend to eat and, if in doubt, avoid eating the dish itself.
3) Briefly remember the rules for the preparation of gluten-free dishes to avoid cross-contamination and discuss this with the restaurant.
Always trust your judgment and advocate for yourself.
I really had a lot of fun researching for my own trip and hope to have helped you with the preparation for your travels. I wish you a great trip and all the best safe food experiences. Please let me know if this information was helpful to you and if you found other places that you want to share.
Safe travels, Fien

Spending some time in beautiful Florence? This is a complete list that provides you with a handful of options: accommodation, tourist attractions, shops, bars and restaurants - you’ll need no other guide, I promise!
So…have a bite and a drink alongside Arno river and take home the most impressive bespoke souvenirs. The city is walkable and it blends art and history and romantic vibes all together and pretty soon you’ll find yourself in love. 💓
Must do - trips to picturesque towns located nearby:
• San Gimignano: 1h away
• Siena: 1h10 away
• Volterra: 1h20 away
Highlights:
⚜️ Il Giglio - giglio bottonato, is mainly known from the crest of the city of Florence. In the Florentine fleurs-de-lis, the stamens are always posed between the petals. This is also the emblem of the city and you shall see it depicted all over.
🍨 Gelato “crema fiorentina” - is the specific flavor of Florence, made with a simple combination of egg yolks, milk, and sugar. It is often flavored with chestnut honey, while another common addition includes crumbled amaretti cookies or almond liqueur. It is a neutral ice cream flavor with delicate pale-yellow color.
🍧 Affogato - a delightful and simple Italian dessert or beverage that combines two beloved elements: espresso and gelato or ice cream. The word "affogato" in Italian means "drowned," and that perfectly describes the preparation of this delicious treat. The basic affogato recipe involves pouring a hot, freshly brewed espresso over a scoop of cold gelato or ice cream. The hot espresso contrasts with the cold and creamy gelato, resulting in a harmonious and satisfying flavour combination.
🥩 Bistecca alla fiorentina - Italian steak made of young steer (vitellone) or heifer (scottona) that, combined with the specific preparation, makes it one of the most popular dishes of Tuscan cuisine.
🍷 "Buchette del vino" - or wine windows, are a peculiar feature of Florence. They are foot-high, dome-shaped holes in the thick, stone palazzi of the Renaissance city that six centuries ago were used to sell wine in a fiasco (glass bottle) without having to open a shop and avoid paying taxes. These wine windows also posed a useful anti-contagion way to sell wine during the epidemic of 1630-1633. At that time, the bubonic plague hit Florence hard, killing 12% of the city's population.

Thank you for your interest in my Taste of Tuscany itinerary which I created from my recent trip there. I hope you enjoy some of my suggestions for your next trip to Florence and the Siena region of Tuscany. If you do, please let me know in a message and maybe a photo. I am organizing this particular tour during this harvest season from September/ October, 2023. Let me know if you would like more information about this trip, it is limited to a small group of 8.
As a travel consultant, I have been organizing bespoke tours all over France and Italy since 2012. I enjoy traveling and sharing my wonderful local small/slow travel experiences with the intension of helping small family businesses recover from the past couple of difficult years. I have more itineraries to share from around the world, so be on the look out.
I envision the Next Renaissance will be in the small towns and villages in Italy, where the people have lived close to the earth for generations, cultivating a simple but beautiful way of life we can all learn from. There is a shift away from big travel business, toward slow/small travel. It is the way I like to travel.
Enjoy! Buon Viaggio!! ...and please mention my name to the locals :)
