Cycling in Tuscany

A fabulous day of cycling in Tuscany. We were out to climb hills and look at the sunflowers!
Bruno Baldini was our guide;

He was amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable about the area, spoke excellent English, accommodated all our needs. He picked up the bikes for us and delivered them right to the house. If you are looking to bike Tuscany, I would call Bruno.

Panzano

A really fun day with my buddy Jason Capps from Bella Sera in Pittsburgh. We lunched at Mac Dario. I had been to Panzano 12 years ago and bought artwork  - the artist is still there and I got my picture taken with him.

Corzano e Paterno

This is an amazing place - wine, olive oil and the most delicious cheese I have ever had. http://corzanoepaterno.com

It came recommended by Moore Brothers Wine Store (www.moorebros.com)

Owned by husband and wife, Aljosha and Toni, it is a gastronomic lovers paradise. They have incredible wine, sheep they milk daily to make delicious cheeses (14 varieties) and olive
trees for 4 different olive oils. There are guest houses on the property so if you want to take it all in, you can stay there and soak up the Tuscan countryside, sipping wine and eating the most delicious cheeses drenched in olive oil.
