Not to be missed - We stayed in Florence and made a day trip to Siena for this. I have to say, this is a must do, not to miss. I don't want to give anything away but I would have paid three times the price. It has been the gem of our Italy trip thus far.

This was a wonderful... - This was a wonderful time!! Being from California, we already knew a decent amount about wine. But very little about Italian wine! This tour opened our tastebuds and the sommelier/hostess was able to draw on this knowledge to create understandable parallels for us to more fully enjoy the nuances of the wine. She was also wonderfully conversational, and she was clearly at home in her cousin’s ( location redacted). At the end, she recommended the most authentic Tuscan dinner. Armed with our new knowledge, we enjoyed a sumptuous meal paired with our new favorite Italian varietal.
