Hello all,
I am planning on spending 16 days in Tuscany in February of 2017 after reading the article in the NY Times about "winter in Tuscany". However I have a few questions:
1. We are planning on spending 4-5 nights in Florence, 5 days in Volterra or Lucca and 5 days in Montepulciano, and because I know it is down season, but will there be things open to do? Such as shops, restaurants and other of the museums and historical sites? I know the hours will be shorter, but will they be open?
2. Can anyone recommend cooking classes in Florence, Volterra or Lucca and/or Montepulciano?
3. If you could chose, which town would you stay in; Volterra or Lucca?
4. I've read there are wine tasting previews in February, how would I take part in those?
Thanks so much!
Matt
