Today we had a welcome change of pace as we drove to the Chianti Classico countryside. We stopped at the Florence American Cemetery and Memorial; it was beautiful, quiet and peaceful with a definite “Normandy vibe”.




We drove on to the Badia de Passignano winery for a tour of the wine cellars and lunch, which included extra-virgin olive oil tasting and Tuscan cuisine paired with regional wines.
