Return To Tuscany

"Who picks the grapes? I do.
Who does the work to create the wine? I do. 
Who prepares this food? I do. 
Who cleans the dishes? I do."

~ Maria Tili | *Owner of Tili Vini in Umbria

​Greetings from Italy! 

My heart is full. Having waited an extra two years for our return to Tuscany, it is with deep gratitude, and tremendous joy, that we are here. 
​
I am so excited to share our adventures! 

• Biking around Milan, taking in the beautiful festivities of Design Week with our dear friend Kevin;
• Overlooking Florence's Santa Croce Square in our 4th-floor-walkup apartment for a prime view of the pageantry and history that is Calcio Storico;
• Connecting with our phenomenal tour group for market day in Cortona;
• Meeting the *powerful women of the Tili Winery.  Tasting their wines, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar all while taking in the amazing view;
• Stretching and expanding for yoga every morning in the tranquil gardens that look all the way out to the Rocco Maggiore;
• Relaxing and releasing in the Pools at Nun Spa & Museum;
• Learning during our walking historical tour of the basilica di San Francesco and the town of Assisi.

Oh, and there's been eating. Lots of delicious, delightful eating.

And, the wines? Wow. The wines here are so lovely, especially when you know exactly where the grapes have been grown, how they are processed, and all the love and care that goes into each bottle. 

If you missed the quotation at the top, take another look. 

I'm so thankful we have time here for many more adventures. I love taking in the history, the architecture, the culture, and the people! This country was devastated by the initial waves of Covid, and it's incredible to be here enjoying the warmth and the resiliency of the Italian people. 

Beaming light to you all the way from Italy.

Ciao Ciao,

M
