So on Day 5, we did a day trip through the same company we did the Cinque Terre Trek through. This was probably my favorite day while in Italy!
Our first stop was to Siena. It was such a quite and cute town, we want to come back here and stay maybe next time.
This is the main square

Next we drove deeper into Tuscany and went to this amazing winery and organic farm! We had lunch there and everything we had besides the cheese was made there on the property. It is a family run business and we loved it!! When we go back to Tuscany I want to come and stay at their B&B!! The wine and food was amazing and the views were just breath taking!
Look at the baby grapes!
Baby Olives!
Our view during lunch!!! That is San Gimignano in the back ground!
San Gimignano is where we went after lunch. It is known as the Medieval Manhattan! They had some of the first sky scrapers! A few are still standing. It was such an old city but really cute! And they had some amazing views from the city of the Tuscan country side! We also had some gelato there from one of the world's grand champions!! YUMMM
Next we headed up to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower!!!! SOOO cool!

We then made our way back to Florence and took some amazing pictures of the city at dusk!
We really enjoyed our time in Florence and our day trips!! Next up, VENICE!!
