| A lecture and tasting in Balsamic Vinegars. We do several classes while on tour. |
 |
| This was our group this fall. I can't tell you when we have had a more exciting and fun loving group. Robin, my associate, is in the white shirt. The guests are from all over the U.S. How very proud I was to be their leader this year! They loved discovering, learning and appreciated everything, especially about great wines and delicious foods! What is there not to love about this region! |

| Our favorite well known butcher friend, Dario, in his shop. Holding court, as usual! He is such a fine host! |
 |
| The mornings were cool and nothing better than that smell of burning wood taking away the chill in homes ~the burning firewood was addicting. Honestly, it was hard to leave this year....counting the days until my next tour. |

Wow, looks like a great trip with a very nice group Jann. Love your red glasses frame. And that frittata looks divine.

Oh wow! That must have been one exciting and wonderful day.
Very cool, thanks for sharing this! My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to Tuscany this summer and we have been looking for some fun stuff to do while we're there. We have been looking at some villas for rent in Tuscany so that we can find the perfect spot for us to do and see as much as possible.
