Experience a truly enchanting holiday in one of my Tuscan Villas
The “Wine Trails of Tuscany” run through magnificent wine-growing areas which, apart from the obvious vineyards and wineries, offer an integrated tourist package of cultural, historical and natural attractions.
These trails are also a means of fostering rural development and of promoting so-called “Enotourism”, that is, setting wine production in a cultural, environmental, historical and social context.
FW04 : TASTING SUPERTUSCAN BOLGHERI (full day)
For those with a true passion for wine, Bolgheri offers a more modern approach to wine-making in a world class location between land and sea and the wilderness of the Tuscan Maremma and is home to some of the biggest names in the Italian wine industry from Ornellaia and Sassicaia to Michele Satta, Grattamacco, Tenuta Argentiera and Tua Rita. A sensory indulgence, not only through wine but also through food, culture and tradition, as you amble through the villages of Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci and Marina di Bibbona and admire vineyards reaching out across sea views to the island of Elba.
Over the years I’ve enjoyed eating pizza and now my favourite pastime is making them. I’ve collected many recipes and brought them together for this website. Some of you might be wondering what the benefits of home made pizzas are in these times when you can order pizza online. These are the 3 main benefits in my opinion:
1. Making pizza is fun!
2. Home made pizzas are healthy, the
ones from your local pizza delivery are
not.
3. You can adapt any pizza recipe to your
own taste.
OK, now lets get started. I recommend starting at the pizza dough section, then moving on to the pizza sauce section before finally taking a stroll into the pizza topping area.
What are you waiting for? It’s time to roll up those sleaves and get stuck in!!
