When in Italia - Tuscany is a great place to explore. It has a rich beauty that does not disappoint.
I had the fun privilege to return to Italy during wine tasting season. When I was given the offer by a friend who owns a vineyard in Montepulciano, I started packing.
Me, Italians, Vino, Vineyard - need I say more - I was in Heaven!
If going to Tuscany here are some things I would recommend:
10 - Rent a car and explore...
9 - Who cares if you get lost - it's all beautiful and you are in Tuscany!
8 - Stop along the way, get out of the car, breath it in, capture the moment.
7 - Take an umbrella - serious.
6 - Drink the wine - any really, it's all sooo good!
5 - Tuscany is filled with beautiful, small towns and vineyards - visit a couple
4 - Cortona - best village sitting on a hilltop in Tuscany (where Under the Tuscan Sun was filmed) Ammmmmazing! Lovely. Best food I've had in Italy.
3 - Montepulciano - beautiful, small, great food, amazing vineyards. Where the Twilight movie was filmed. Walk the streets, buy some pasta, drink the red...
2 - Salcheto Vineyards - a must see - friends own - it's beautfiul! http://www.salcheto.it/
1 - Live in the moment, you're in Italia - eat, drink, laugh, be merry!!!
