With its dreamily poetic landscapes, awe-inspiring art, and gloriously ancient cities that have captured the hearts and imagination of visitors worldwide, Italy seems tailored made for romance. Lovers from around the world are drawn to this beautiful, fabled country for its fascinating old-world charm, spellbinding scenery, and arguably the best and most flavorful cuisine in the world.

In a country known for wine production such as Italy, the harvest season is an important time of year. The harvest is celebrated with festivals, tours and tastings. Consider joining in the revelry and tradition by taking a wine tour of one or more of Italy’s wine-producing regions.

I was foolish enough to wear a skirt that day, I mean, I had seen plenty of Italian women on vespas in dresses, skirts… so it must be okay right? Ummm not if you don’t know how to ride one, ha! Luckily, the vespa instructors/guides were very patient with me while I practiced my “vespa’ing” before we took off on our tour of the Tuscan countryside. Hint: If you don’t know how or are not very comfortable with your vespa skills, wear pants!
