The tour began with us meeting our tour guide at a local train station which was located outside of the city center. This was concerning as we knew we were going to be arriving home late and everything would be shut down but fortunately the young lady and the bus driver said they would take us into the city at the conclusion of the tour. We then boarded a comfortable bus and we were off! We were driven into the hills surrounding Florence to the Poggio Ai Laghi vineyard. When we arrived we were greeted by a member of the family who shared with us the history of their wine while he poured generous portions of their local products which they paired nicely with bread, cheese, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. After the presentation we were led to a long table in the vineyard where we were served generous portions of wine a wonderful home cooked meal. The only thing missing was music. Thanks again for a wonderful night!
