I always Leica…

There is an incredible dinner available at the Osteria a Passignano paired with wonder wines from the Antinori Bottega. . The evening starts with a tour of the vineyards and the historic abbey cellars which date from 395 AD. The abbey continues to be inhabited by monks, and in 1587 Galileo Galilei taught there. When in the cellars you can really feel the history. Our tour guide, Ljuby, was extremely knowledgable, engaging, and proved to be a wonderful host. Her knowledge of wine and vineyards was impressive. Her photo is included below.  The dinner and wines were perfect. It is an expensive  dinner, but actually well worth the price when you consider the quality of the wines and food.
