They offer a week long tour of various wine producers in the region. They now offer a one week tour in the fall and one in the spring. They get behind the scene access that most tourists would never see on their own. I will have more information coming on the posts from Tuscany. I landed in Rome and spent parts of two days there. I was basically just a tourist myself on this part of the trip. Here are a few images from Rome. More pictures to come in the next few days.
