I would appreciate any recommendations for a short winery tour followed by an outdoor lunch - in Umbria/Tuscany - near Greve or Todi possibly
thank you
A couple years ago, my husband and I took a tour with Maurizio Bellini (http://www.mauriziobellini.com) for the day. He picked us up in Florence and we visited San Gimignano, then stopped at a winery (Fattoria Montagliari - www.montaliari.it) for a tour and a fabulous lunch, then visited Greve. It was a wonderful experience. His website has several trip options that might be of interest.
I did quite a bit of research on Umbria because we haven't been there before. I ended up booking with this company after researching them on tripadvisor: http://www.gustowinetours.com/
We are really looking forward to this tour in September!
I think you have some suggestions for what you wanted, but here also is a seductive photo of Ristorante Da Delfina in Artimino, 1-hour drive from Greve.
