Do a little homework before you jump over the Atlantic by watching Season 3, Episode 10, of the acclaimed series, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. This series was a formative experience for both of us, and Chef Bourdain holds a special place in both of our hearts. He inspired our love of both travel and great food. We hope this will inspire you to want to experience the Tuscan countryside in the same way Tony would -- with great friends, eating great food, and taking in all Italy has to offer.
About 30 minutes by car from the Venue, this historic castle was built in 1154. 30 hectares of vineyards surround the castle, and is still an active winery. In addition to delicious wine, the Castello also produces extra virgin olive oil.
Siena is the capital of the Siena Province of Italy. About 45 minutes from the Venue, Siena boasts a rich history and vivid culture. Siena was founded by Etruscan settlers between 900 and 400 BC. A quick car ride from the Venue will land you in an ancient city with a wonderful food and restaurant scene and breathtaking architecture. This town is about as Italian as you can get!
This winery has an impressive 70,000 hectares of land surrounding it. It produces organic "Chianti Classico". Only 15 minutes' drive from the Venue, Casa Sola would be a great place to stock up on phenomenal Tuscan wines to ship back to the states (or bring back to the Venue to enjoy on the terrace at sunset!).
For those who are looking for a little more rugged adventure, check out the Ponte Di San Marziale waterfalls. A 4km trail guides you around the Elsa river and the breathtaking scenery of Tuscany. You'll be able to see ancient ruins of 11th century hydraulic works, which provided power to paper mills, iron works, and other early artisanal and industrial activities.
