Traveling by car through Tuscany is nothing short of a great time. Add wine tours and castles and it becomes an outright celebration.
We visited Castello di Verrazano (the family connected with the famous NYC bridge) and took a guided tour of the historical but still working cellars, strolled in their gardens, and discovered the great history of the Navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano. Going to the producer, tasting their wines on the spot and visit the winery and vineyards is awesome. Tastings are organized at onsite restaurants which, combined with a full-course meal, will give you the chance to appreciate the wine and food pairing – each at their very best.
Tuscany much to our delight is also a thermal area. Rainy days are a reminder to go sit in a spa, take to the waters or soak till you are pruned. Whatever you want to call it, I have never enjoyed rainy weather quite this much.
The end of our Tuscan adventure was a return to the cruise port and, oh my, another cruise to reposition ourselves to Venice.
