Every year I take my daughters on a roadtrip, two years ago we went to the Tuscan Valley in Italy, drank the most amazing wines of the region and ate deliciousness that we discovered along the way. After driving about an hour thru beautiful mountains with rolling hills that were breathtaking we finally arrived to this small winery, that created some pretty large tasting wines!
We did this great tour with Paola a young Italian sommelier which was delightful and wise beyond her years, then we did the tasting, I have teen daughters, and its important for parents to know, teens are able to do the tastings with parents supervision, the Italian culture permits them to drink, so you will not be breaking any laws, WHEN IN ROME DO AS THE ROMANS.
Then we went to visit Cecchi wines and were blown away with all there selection, la Mora was my fav!
I believe your tastebuds choose your favorite wines, you don't need to necessarily buy the most expensive wines for then to taste good, so its best to test wines out as we did for two weeks. One of my favorite choices were Barullo Wines.
The best thing about this trip, was the spontaneous element, with teens us parents have to be on high alert for moments they will treasure, we stopped to take photos, a lot (you know social media is important)! We did this amazing spooky tour in Vegas and learned history from our Airbnb host which was entertaining and on the edge! We stayed at an olive farm, and learned about the process of turning olives into Olive oil in a monastery, that we found on Airbnb. All in All we laughed, discovered, shopped, ate and drank... and were left with MEMORIES. If you want some info just ask... because we saved sooo much money!
