End of November/December trip to Venice, Montepulciano, Rome
Headed to Italy at the end of the month. We’ve made a few reservations but otherwise are leaving lots of time to explore and take it all in. It’s our third time to Italy, first time to Rome and Val d’Orcia region. I’ve been to Venice but husband has not. Honeymooned in Chianti years ago. We are looking recs for great vineyard lunches, restaurant recs in Rome.
Would love to hear what your most memorable/favorite moments were while exploring these cities:
11/24 - Arrive in Venice 3 nights at hotel Nolinski Reservations: Al Covo and Da Romano (Burano) Fortuny museum Local wine tour with somm
11/27 Train to Florence, then rent car and drive to Airbnb in Montepulciano - 3 nights vineyard lunches in Val d’Orcia Rick Steves drive/Val d’Orcia loop
