We spent our day driving out from Florence to Tuscany region during our stay in Florence, Italy October 2018. It is definitely a different winery experience we had from Napa Valley, with painting-like sceneries, signature Cypress Trees, winding roads, and an unforgettable culinary experience with wine paring. We had the freshest olive oil & balsamic vinegar at Badia a Coltibuono, which used to be monastery. Among with scenic view, the Italian architecture made us feel like we were visiting a museum.
