The last time I posted pictures and an update was in January, Opps. I haven’t felt completely motivated to post or what to do with my pictures. I have continued to take pictures still and visited a few new places. I will do my best to post the photos of those new places. For the time being I’m back in Tuscany and wanted to post more pictures from over here. I’ve seen 4 out of the 5 villages in Cinque Terre and we had a great experience at this little winery in San Gimignano.

The food above is just a little sample of the many choices to choose from for lunch, apéro or dinner. The Bruschetta was so amazing. You have to try the pesto and if you are spending time in the area you can even do a pesto experience and make you’re own! To top it all off they have delicious cocktails. I had sangria that brought me back to Spain. https://www.nessundormacinqueterre.com/pestoexperience

After spending a little time in San Gimignano we had an appointment for a wine tasting at Montenidoli. A vineyard just outside and as you can see they have a wonderful view of village. We were given a tour of how they make the wine followed by the tasting. They were going to start picking the grapes for this year the following day so I have a few pictures of the grapes nice and plump.

I am finishing with the entrance to vineyard and it’s typical Tuscan entrance. We had a great day and we have an address for the books next time we have company! http://www.montenidoli.com
