At Tuscan Gardens®, we put great emphasis on food – the aromas, textures, and flavors. That’s why every day is complemented by exceptional food and signature dining experiences. From our Tuscan Kitchen to beautifully comfortable living spaces, every aspect of our community is designed to feel like home.

We understand how important the kitchen is to our residents, and we carry on the traditions they love. We entertain guests, cook, and bake for fun, visit with friends, share recipes, hold cooking classes and demonstrations – all here, in our Tuscan Kitchen.
