San Gimignano Part 2 - Cooking Class
2022年6月6日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
We had signed up for wine, olive oil and cheese tasting... as well as a cooking class. And figured out they were both at the same place - Podere la Marronaia. It is a small family-run farm making biodynamic wine and olive oil and showcasing local cooking.
We did our olive oil, wine and cheese tasting first which was lovely. Our hostess was dating the son of the owner and the two of them flirting as they worked was so cute.
After we went upstairs to make some different types of bruschetti and then simple sauce and ricotta gnocchi. The ingredients were so simple and fresh and flavorful. After it was all made, we came back down for some more wine and to enjoy our meal with the stunning view of San Gimignano in front of us. It was a perfect day!もっと詳しく

San Gimignano - Part 1
2022年6月6日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
We headed out for the adventure of driving on windy, hilly, narrow roads... with Italians on the road. They are crazy!
We stopped at a first spot on our way for a lovely wine tasting. We were the only ones there and the team were so lovely.
Then we got to San Gimignano! This is NOT a typical medieval town - its stunning. We wandered and browsed before and after our cooking class. Such a charming place.もっと詳しく

We visited a couple of wineries near our hotel and found a local joint for a drink and fun people watching and then took a pizza back to our hotel for our last night in Italy.

We hadn't really made plans for our last full day in Italy, so we headed to Pisa without a good plan like we had for Florence.

It was a bit of a cluster and chaotic, Dawn wanted to see the tower since she hadn’t been there before .

We next went on a wild goose chase in Livorno which led to a ton of city walking in the heat and the tiled boardwalk turned out to not be that exciting. lol

It's about time to head home!もっと詳しく

Another small adventure back to Venice for our flight home.
We kept seeing these Autogrill's along the road, and finally caught a picture of the genius cross-road version.

Borgo alle vigne
2023年6月5日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
After our speed tour of Florence, we headed to our home for the next few days - Borgo alle Vigne. A small town in Tuscany. We got settled in, found some dinner and crashed. Hard to believe we woke up on a ship in Trieste that morning and now were all the way across in Tuscany!

When we were checking in to the hotel (Hilton Grande Vacations), we asked the woman about the village on the hill across from our hotel. "Oh - just a typical medieval town. There are a lot." lol

We later learned how right she was and that that particular town wasn't very exciting!

We also began to learn that unlike in Spain where you can order the house wine and it is amazing, in Tuscany it is not necessarily true! The table wine and dinner was so so.もっと詳しく
