Since the wine focused thread is old (2009) and closed I thought I would start a new one.
My wife and I are spending 7 nights in Siena the first week in October and we want to fully immerse ourselves in Tuscan culture through food and wine. We are not interested in many tourist areas or sightseeing side trips. We want to focus on Chianti, Brunello and Montepulciano wines and Tuscan cuisine in all its variations. I've emailed Biondi winery to see if/when they have wine tasting. Antinori is at the top of our list for Chianti. Any other winery suggestions with details about making reservations are greatly appreciated in advance. Any restaurant suggestions would also be helpful. One of my goals this year is to learn to make potato gnocchi. Suggestions for small group cooking classes would be an added treat.
Edit: I just heard back from Biondi and the winery has been closed to the public since January 2018. I wonder if they are on the itinerary for any of the small group or private tours offered by Viator?
