Fun in Tuscany - this is the #1 Tuscany tour I have recommended to friends and family for years, they always love it and it's good value, plus you literally ride a Vespa through Tuscany... If Sam (Issam) is your guide please tell him Jess Dante says hello!

Nice area to stay in -- Oltrarno district (try around Piazza Santo Spirito) but you can't go too wrong. Make sure you have air conditioning if visiting in the summer. Horto Convento is a beautiful choice :

Tuscan Truffle Hunting Tour in San Miniato details:
- The pickup time was at 10 am in front of the National Library which was an easy 15 min walk from our AirBNB.
- I booked the excursion online. The excursion costs 350 euros for two people.
- Came with a 3 course lunch with truffles and wine tasting
- If you have a car and just want to join the truffle hunting, you can do that. There was a couple in our tour that drove here themselves. They said they found them online and booked it on their own. - I also read that leaving from the San Miniato train station takes about a 15 minute taxi ride that costs €25 each way. It takes about 30 minutes to take the train from Florence.
- DO BORROW their boots because the forest is often muddy.
- October and November has the best climate for truffle hunting. Although I'm here in October, today wasn't the best climate for truffle hunting because it wasn't cold and wet enough.
Truffle Hunting Dog Details!
In Italy, the use of pigs has been prohibited since 1985. The pigs dig into the ground looking for truffles and harms the entire truffle ecosystem in the process. With dogs, they can smell the truffle and alert their owners. The owner then carefully digs up the truffle and then closes the hole back up for future truffles to grow back. Dogs like Choco cost up to $10,000 US!
Next stop: wine tasting!
This winery started in 1535. They not only produce wines - they also produce olives. They breed Cinta Senese to produce salami and prosciutto. Cinta Senese is a breed of Italian pig from the province of Siena, in Tuscany. They also produce honey and produce and everything is organic!
The big barrels can be reused for 15 to 16 years. These barrels are huge! The big barrow gives the wine a freshness and fruitier taste. The small barrels are only used for 3 years. After 3 years the barrel absorbs too much wine to be reused.
The green glass on top of the barrel allows the gas created by fermentation to escape while not allowing air back in. This cool contraption was invented by Leonardo Da Vinci.
After the tour we got to taste their wines along with some salami and prosciutto. They add fennel seeds into the salami. It was very good!
Why does Florence, Italy bread have no salt?
The bread made in this region of Italy has no salt added. I didn't know that as it was my first time trying saltless bread. I'll have to admit I like my bread with some sodium. Bread from Tuscany and Florentine and maybe some other places near by don't add salt to their bread. There are many reasons for this: I don't know which one is true. But here goes: salt used to be heavily taxed so to save some money they stopped adding salt to their bread. Another reason is during war between Pisa and Florence the Pisan army set up a blockade on the Arno River to prevent salt shipments from reaching Florence. Without salt, bakers just continued baking their bread without the salt. Last reason is Tuscan cuisine tend to be on the saltier side so the bread is to help eat the salty food.
Final STOP: Plaza Michelangelo. He was willing to drop us off there instead so we can catch the sunset.
It was nice because this place was on my list to visit and it saved me a hike up the hill to get there.
The view up here is amazing! You can see the entire city of Florence from here. It was a bit cloudy to see the sunset, but it was still very nice.

Florence and Tuscany | Tuscan Wine Tour and Firenze
Hi and Welcome back to our Italy 2019 Mother-Daughter Vlogs!
In this vlog we left Lake Como for Firenze! It was my first time back to this lovely city in years, so I was excited to explore Florence with my mom and sisters. We had a lovely time taking in all the sites, and eating a lot of street food, especially gelato! Florence is a small city and so we decided to do a Tuscan Wine Tour. We visited Fattoria Poggio Alloro to start, where we sampled some wines, and ate cheese. We also got to meet the Chianina cows, and this for me was a bit traumatic. I had a strong emotional response to seeing these beautiful creatures. Next we visited the medieval town of San Gimignano, and got to explore this lovely historic town. After this we headed to our final winery called Tenuta Torciano. I personally really loved the winery, as we sampled many types of delicious wine, and ate a really lovely Florentine meal as well. It was very delicious and Gabriele was very sweet and charismatic. I recommend a wine tour when in Florence, there are a lot of options to consider in terms of wineries in Tuscany! I also mentioned our airbnb in Florence, it was so spacious, and in a perfect location. If you search for Old Florence - Ponte Vecchio flat with Elevator you will find it, here is the link:

4 DAYS IN TUSCANY: Florence, Siena, Chianti Wine Tasting, and more!
Tuscany was our second stop in our 20-day babymoon in Italy! We used Siena and Florence as our base for travel to the surrounding countryside. From Siena, we joined a small group tour and visited Monterrigioni, San Gimignano, and Volterra. From Florence, we joined a wine tasting tour that took us to wineries of both Florentine and Sienese Chianti Classico wines and to the small towns of Greve and Castellina. Tuscany was gorgeous!
