A Month in Bella Italia

[Flutterby]

Leaving with all the highlights of the Italian cuisine in your tummy. Sounds good
But you definitely needed that strength judging by your itinerary

Thanks for sharing your trip with us. It is quite a bit of work to do all those pix and of course the many, many info you provided to!

Thanks for reading Mel. I enjoyed reliving the trip through sharing this TT.

Lovely food pics again, Flutts!

I wonder what the wine and grapes cost, or if they are more for export like in SA?

Thanks for this extensive report, it has really enriched our lives IMO!

I actually bought a bottle of wine home...it was the equivalent of about R150.00. It's definitely not for export...Chianti is a major wine-producing region in Italy and there are very particular rules about what makes a Chianti wine.
Thanks for reading and commenting here.

What a lovely spot, the vinery, and perfect for a glass of wine or two with yummy salami, cheese and raw ham to go with them (plural, because I am sure that it was more than one glass )

This makes me want to go back to Tuscany/Umbria, where I haven't been for ages *sigh*, if one day I can walk more than now

You really managed to get the most out of your trip. Very well prepared and executed, but I am afraid that the European way of life has got you under its spell. Remember that it was a holiday and not the real thing and it was summer. (Just trying to make you return on the ground )

Excellent TT and very informative especially for those who have never been to Europe. Well done, Fluttie

Yes, we really did a lot in a month, but that's how we are....we make the most of our time, whether in Italy or Kruger. I'm sure I will be returning soon.

Thanks so much, Flutterby,

the Italian cuisine is one of my favourites and so it is simply a must for me to visit a couple of cities in Italy and for sure the Tuscany. Gladly it is not that far from us than South Africa.

Thanks for a wonderful and extreme informative trip report
