You couldn&#8217;t ask for more in a place to stay in Tuscany. Gina &amp; Kimberly the owners of Premier Vineyard Tours do an amazing job on the wine tour, restaurant choices and accommodations! Fantastico! Pictures to come later on that. In today&#8217;s post, I am going to put up some images that set the scene in Tuscany, that I took on the first couple days of my stay. Ciao!
