Very much enjoyed Vignamaggio in the Chianti region. Lovely estate where the Mona Lisa was painted.

My wife and I will be in Siena for 3 days in 3 weeks and, as reviewing their website, would love to put this on our Itinerary. Roughly, what is the cost for lunch and wine tour? I know I can make a resv. and wait a few hours for pricing but would really like to know now. Also is the Mona Lisa story fact or myth?
Thank you in advance, this sounds and looks great. I've never heard of this place?

when I looked up the web site - I believe it indicated 55 euros for lunch and a wine tour - not sure how long it takes though

It was a couple of hours, maybe three. Mona Lisa is not a myth. Check out this site
