worth a thousand words

June 6, 2007 by Divina Cucina

While touring it is impossible to blog.
Here is a “Taste” of our Chianti Classico Experience!

We successfully dodged the rain and had a splendid week exploring the countryside, meeting the masters who have set the bar for the BEST there is…..
shopping, eating fabulous foods,drinking great wines and enjoying breath-taking the views!

first porcini of the season


“Bread of the day, wine of the year with friends of a lifetime”
Tuscan saying


building out Italian palate at the Central Market


timeless faces at the Siena Market


Tuscan breakfast at the inn


chefs sharing their secrets for new presentations of classic recipes


New presentations for michelin star restaurants…. twisting classics


Nothing like spring in Chianti


new grapes promising wine


young unripe walnuts waiting for June 24th to become Nocino!

Sharing my Tuscany with new friends is like seeing it for the first time
again and again!

Mille Grazie!

    Thanks for these pics, I recognize the Conti market stall – we just finished the Tuscan herb blend that we bought there – now I shall have to use my mezzaluna to make my own. Tuscany in the spring looks lovely. Having visited in the fall I think a return in teh spring is in order!

    I was lucky enough to be in Tuscany at the end of May (near Pisa rather than in Chianti) and it is such a beautiful time of year! I can’t wait to go back.

Judy Witts Francini

Originally from California; Tuscany has been my home since 1984. I found the city of Florence to hold all my passions, food, wine, art all in one place. When I am not in Tuscany, I am often found in Sicily, my other favorite place to be. Always searching for recipes to share and exploring for the guides I write to my favorite cities for food and wine.
