A friend and I are doing a tour around Tuscany and Umbria for the next 10 days or so. We will be based variously near Montecatini, in Sienna, Vitterbo and Asissi. We would love to arrange a couple of lunches at vineyards, farms or the like...preferably more casual meals, perhaps with other guests or family members. I haven't a clue about where to start....so Rick Steves Hive Mind, do you have any suggestions?

Some of the wineries do offer lunch. But often the lunch will be multi-courses with appropriate wine pairing. And, as a consequence, they are not quick or cheap. But the experience is terrific and, in our opinion, well worth the price. You may do it with other tourists but not with family members -- they are working and probably serving you. I will dig out the names of the two where we had lunch but they are not in the area where you are.

Ask at your lodging. They will know who is doing what right now.
