Hi! My best friend and I (two girls in our early 30's) will be heading to Tuscany for 7 days in May. We will be arriving from 3 nights in the Cinque Terre. We don't want to move place to place but rather stay put for a couple of days and explore an area then move on. The places that have stood out thus far are Florence, San Gimignano, Siena, Cortona, Montepulciano and the Val'Dorcia area. We will be using public transportation to get around and on a bit of a budget. It might be a bit ambitious to see all of those places. Can anyone recommend where we should stay put and which places we could possibly do day trips? Other items on our agenda are the obvious.. wine tasting, exploring, sites, countryside..etc. We would love to stay somewhere close to a winery if possible. I was looking at a wine tasting biking tours which looked fun. Do you have to go on a tour to visite the wineries? Would that be the best way if we aren't driving? I am very keen to taste the Chianti's and the Brunello di Montalcino. I would appreciate any advise that you may have. Thanks!
