Follow the medieval streets to the most striking square in Florence, Piazza della Signoria. “Breathtaking” is the only word to describe one’s first view of Michelangelo’s David. Yes, it’s quite large and detailed. But the real magic is in how Michelangelo transformed a lifeless rock into a man — full of pride, wary of his adversary, yet quietly confident. All with just a hammer and chisel! This afternoon you’ll visit a typical Tuscan winery to learn about the grape, the nose, food pairings and, most importantly which glass to use! You’ll enjoy a wine tasting with these special wines along with an early dinner. Cin-Cin!
