9/5 - Tuscan Countryside
Today we enjoyed a countryside visit to a winery in the heart of Tuscany. They showcased their wine cellar, family estate, vineyards and olive groves. We participated in a Tuscan cooking lesson given by the winery’s own chef and enjoyed an authentic Tuscan lunch expertly paired with wines produced on-site.
Late in the day we returned to the villa and home for 4 nights for some leisure time.
