wines and their characteristics and indulge in the perfect local cheese

the tours are organized so you can visit 2 or 3 vineyards for tastings
in each one, with a light lunch or picnic at one of the vineyards or
good local restaurant.
The Enoteca Experience
is another great way to enjoy Italian wines. An enoteca is a wine
repository that offers visitors an opportunity to sample many types of
wines and buy them if they like them. Many people think of enoteche
(plural of enoteca) as wine libraries when small quantities available
and visitors can sample different wines from different producers at one
location.
Many of these establishments also offer food to complement the
wines served. The well know "Enoteca Italiana", in Piazza Matteotti in
Siena, is a wonderful establishment that offers 1,000 different wines
and is worth a visit if you are wine aficionado.
